Candidate of Biological Sciences Alexander Apollonovich Ivanov lost his job 20 years ago and moved from Moscow to the Kostroma Region. Today, he lives alone in an abandoned village and preaches separate collection and recycling of waste. He combs the surrounding area in search of solid household waste, from which he makes building materials. He also tries to tell residents of neighboring cities and villages about the benefits of recycling. Once a week, he walks 2 kilometers through the forest, through snowdrifts, to tell people about global waste problems and how and why it is necessary to sort plastic and glass. And why this activity will save their region from environmental pollution. But few people hear the candidate of sciences. Local villagers are accustomed to living in the old way and do not want to change. And the district authorities do not understand and do not accept the scientist's environmental impulse either. On the contrary, his civic position and activity only hinder them. Despite all these difficulties, Alexey Ivanov believes that the only way to escape the waste crisis that has befallen the entire country today is with your own hands.
