This week we turn our attention to Kyrgyzstan. We speak with Maria Kohesnikova, the director of MoveGreen, a youth environmental movement in the capital city of Bishkek, about the current status of air pollution in the country of Kyrgyzstan.
In Kyrgyzstan, it is not possible for civil society representatives to analyze the exhaust emitted from coal-powered power plants. Having an independent group of experts inspecting power plants would not only reveal the chemical emission levels but could also provide necessary feedback for plants to run cleaner and more efficiently. Learn more about this and other topics by listening along!
