You seem to throw everything associated with the green movement into the same lump of bad things (judging from the tone of your comment). What could be so bad about recycling that you dislike the idea? Is there a logical explanation or mayb

I often translate "красивый" as "nice" or "pretty" or something similar, depending on the context. I think "beautiful" is more subtle (less banal, if you will) than "красивый". And so is &qu
