With coming of cold seasons, we are all petrified of bad pollution in UB. Many projects are racing time to reduce the pollution that hunts down the UB with winter. Most of these projects are environmentally friendly, for example Mongolian First Wind Park project, that deploys renewable energy source of wind to generate the electricity, without using any coal or fuel. There are many others that either try to reduce the air pollution by not burning much coal, or trying to modify the traditional way of burning coal, such as coal briquette. One noteworthy project is Ski Resort in Bogd Mountain area. The Bogd Mountain lays in special protected area. Citizens are devastated about the environmental damage that Ski resort project is causing to special protected area. However, the developers are arguing that this Resort will provide the UB citizens with new, healthy way to spend their leisure time. It makes me sick how they are trying to persuade the ordinary people. Is it going to be affordable to ordinary citizens? I don't think so. Logically thinking, it will be expensive to ski on that resort, as the developers will try to earn as much as possible to cover their construction costs. I would not be amazed, if few hours of entertainment in the Ski Resort will cost about 40,000 - 50,000MNT. So, those who are struggling with everyday life cannot simply afford to go there once a year.So, for whom this Ski Resort is being built? For rich and foreign? Therefore, is it OK to devastate the wild nature to make entertainment for minority?
