MDG 7 in Russia

Russiaused to do very little to control pollution, and a lot of its problems today are leftover from this time. Water pollution is a major problem in Russia: around half of all its water is polluted and around three quarters of all water found above ground is polluted too. Partly this is because very little water used is properly treated before being put back into water sources like rivers and many waste chemicals are thrown into water sources. Russia’s air is also polluted and it is one of the worst countries for air pollution in the world. This pollution comes from industry, and also from vehicles. As more people get cars and other vehicles, this problem becomes more widespread.

Nuclear reactors are a major source of energy in Russia, and there are over 30 in operation. Nuclear waste is very difficult to get rid of safely, and in Russia it has sometimes been dumped in a way that is not safe. Although the waste may have been dumped many years before, it still pollutes environments.

Environmental Indicators

  • More than 9 per cent of land and marine areas are now protected as nature reserves
  • 1.5 per cent of water sources are used to provide water for people, industry and agriculture
  • 7 per cent of people use solid fuels to heat their homes
  • 96 per cent of people have access to good quality drinking water
  • 87 per cent have access to basic sanitation

Tin Can Blinis

Blinis are a favourite food inRussia, as they are cheap to make, filling and very tasty! Try making these tiny pancakes using an unusual cooking method – candles and tin cans! Be careful, as the can edges may be sharp.

  • Mix together a cup of flour with two eggs, a pinch of baking powder and a pinch of salt. Add enough milk to make a smooth, thick batter.
  • Take an empty tin can, the bigger the better, and throw away the lid. Turn the can upside down, making the solid bottom of the can your frying pan.
  • Punch holes in the sides of the can, just below the bottom, to let air in.
  • Clean the can thoroughly then light a tea-light/candle stub and put the tin can over it. The can will get very hot so be careful.
  • Pour some oil on the bottom surface of the tin can and when it is hot, drop one spoon of blini batter on itLet it sizzle and when bubbles appear in the blini, flip it over.
  • Cook until your blini is light golden brown then eat with butter, cheese, jam or whatever you like!
