I think I’m going to talk about my parents. These are the only two people I know who are, I think, to some extent, concerns about protecting the environment. Because unfortunately here in Uzbekistan, we don’t really stress or the environmental damage that human activities are causing except maybe people living in Tashkent because the air pollution here is terrible. It’s one of the most polluted cities in the entire world. So maybe people are starting to sort of wake up to this problem as they’re trying to go more and more eco in a sense that people are preferring, for example, public transport or they’re walking a lot, maybe using receivable bags which have been introduced quite recently, actually in major supermarket chains. But anyways, back to my parents, my mom, for example, she’s completely against using wet wipes, which she considers to be like biohazard. I mean, in a sense that it’s going to take decades for these wet wipes to decay. And my dad, so we have this, you know, big house with lots of trees there. Each time we clean up the leaves, my dad prefers biring them under the ground because he believes that they’re going to turn into fertilizer and give like very significant, very beneficial like nutrients to trees, which kind of like makes sense. He’s also big on hunting, which is a sustainable, sustainable method of getting food. And I mean, it doesn’t sound like a big deal. But like I said, this whole, this whole culture is not really developed in my country. So this is the best we got.

I think I'm going to talk about my parents. These are the only two people I know who are, I think, to some extent, concerned about protecting the environment. Because unfortunately here in Uzbekistan, we don't really stress the environmental damage that human activities are causing, except maybe people living in Tashkent because the air pollution here is terrible. It's one of the most polluted cities in the entire world. So maybe people are starting to wake up to this problem as they're trying to go more eco-friendly in the sense that people are preferring, for example, public transport or walking a lot, maybe using reusable bags, which have been introduced quite recently in major supermarket chains. But anyway, back to my parents. My mom, for example, is completely against using wet wipes, which she considers to be a biohazard. I mean, in a sense that it's going to take decades for these wet wipes to decay. And my dad, we have this big house with lots of trees. Each time we clean up the leaves, my dad prefers burying them underground because he believes that they're going to turn into fertilizer and provide very significant, beneficial nutrients to the trees, which kind of makes sense. He's also big on hunting, which is a sustainable method of getting food. And I mean, it doesn't sound like a big deal. But like I said, this whole culture is not really developed in my country. So this is the best we've got.
