Before the Karabakh movement ignited, several environmental demonstrations and rallies took place in Yerevan. In essence, people came out against the system for the first time with ecological demands and slogans. With no political speeches at those gatherings, those actions were also considered a manifestation of dissent in the USSR. The issues raised were mainly related to the "Nairit" factory, the Metsamor nuclear power plant, and the radioactive waste cemetery to be built in the Ararat Valley.
We limit some parking spaces in Yerevan, to instead provide you tree planting areas. Air pollution may be greatly reduced by planting trees and adopting a green lifestyle. Through their leaves and roots, trees serve as natural air filters, removing harmful pollutants from the atmosphere such carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particle matter. Trees also contribute to better air quality by releasing oxygen into the atmosphere via a process known as photosynthesis.
