Why is this important
Establishing the legal status of ecologically clean territories forms unified rules for environmental protection and economic activity in such zones. This allows for limiting environmentally harmful activities and reducing the burden on natural objects. At the same time, measures to regulate plastic circulation and wastewater management are aimed at improving the environmental situation.
