EcoSociety Foundation Zelenika and Leibniz Institute for Regional Geography organize Debate Forum “Public Dialogue on quality of life in the city of Sofia; challenges for the acoustic environment and the state of the air in the context of city mobility.”

It will take place on April 16th 2015 from 10:00 A.M. in the Red Hall at the Center for Culture and Debate Red House, Sofia.

The event will stir a public debate on the quality of life in the capital from the viewpoint of the condition of the air and the noise in the city environment. These two factors have been under observation, and the results are more than worrying. For example, the levels of noise in the central boulevards in Sofia in daytime surpass 70 dBA and reach values which can cause permanent damage of hearing. Regarding the condition of the air, during the period after 2010, the average levels of fine dust particles in the central parts of the city have been constantly over the safe norms, and for 63% of it the transport is responsible.

The locals know that it is “legal” to all those net of unchangeable governors, political parties and their helpers and conscienceless people with cutters living just for the loaf of bread.

The Earth Hour became a world holiday of the environmentalism, mostly because it showed what the power of every person is to change their environment. From the symbolic switch-off of the lights to planting of the forest of the Earth Hour (in Uganda) the event has enormous power and enables the citizens to take up the relay. In Bulgaria we dedicated the Earth Hour to the Bulgarian rivers – obstructed, dug out, destroyed, they showed what means when we break the balance. It is time we responded to them with care, because we are in the middle of the way of their losing.
