Dmitry Medvedev sent his greetings to participants and guests of the Country for Living National Environmental Forum

June 21, 2011

The forum underway in Moscow is devoted to one of the most acute environmental problems today: industrial and municipal waste management.

The message of greetings reads, in part:

”The waste management sector is deservedly called the industry of the 21st century. The environment situation in general, as well as the transition to the ‘green growth’ model and the well-being of millions of people depend on it.

Today we must find qualitatively new solutions and mechanisms to transform the waste management industry into a modern high-tech sector that is attractive for investment. The widespread introduction of environmental and energy efficient technologies is essential, as well as the responsible attitude of all market participants to recycling and waste management.“
