Tree planting, afforestation and a privileged construction business. The note.
Sometimes a modern city dweller (in any European city in Russia) can notice such an attempt.
A group of people, not far from the automobile road, dig holes and plant trees along the road. (Everywhere the "housing problem" is being solved. It can be solved in the situation of the massive, growing debts of the widest masses of the population? Will someone give out a housing for free?).
So, trees are planted along the automobile road. What is the trick here.
For the benefit and profit of selected developers, they are provided with cheap land plots.
Where "cheap" land plots can be found in a city?
Public lands are used, in particular, a lands of urban forests, of groves, of parks, of botanical gardens, of experimental training fields and of other green spaces.
Such actions are provoking more and more indignation and resistance of the population.
To calm down the townspeople, a corresponding scheme has been invented.
At first, the number of trees felled is counted.
Then, a promise is made to plant the same number of trees.
So new, newly planted trees appear along the automobile roads.
Naturally, neither animals (mammals) nor birds can live in these places. Even a human does not have the full opportunity to walking, to listen to the silence, to breathe fresh air in such "tree plantations".
However, the population is being pumped, is being filled with reassuring information about the number of newly planted - instead (in exchange) of the felled ones - trees.
This is how informational tricks are performed to the advantage and to the profit of a narrow group of privileged developers (not all the citizens employed in the construction business have access to receive a "cheap" land plots).
Time passes. Trees growing along the automobile roadway begin to interfere with vehicles and create inconveniences for nearby buildings. There is again a field for activity and for reports of vigorous activity. By this time, the new younger generation can continue to play sports on grounds fenced in with metal nets, on a sports grounds, located near roads filled with cars. These people forget about the silence, about the opportunity to listen to birds and to feed squirrels, to hear the cries of pheasants, to breathe fresh air ...
Influential caring people who develop the construction business of a select "business" group are concerned about the interests and health of the population.
In the "thimbles game", one thimble is instantly replaced by another, and the little golden ball coudn't be found under all, without exception, thimbles.
Urban forests, groves, parks and other green objects, the afforestation - are being replaced by tree planting - that is, by planting (by count) trees along automobile roadways and in other similar places ...
