Together with other skiers from Save Pechora Committee, an NGO in Komi Republic (Northern Russia) and volunteers from #StopOilSpills project she went 25 km from one settlement to another and met local people in 5 villages to encourage hope for a better future without oil spills as part of the global movement to Break Free from fossil fuels. Oil spills kill fish and contaminate rivers. Land is being turned into a harsh desert. 8000 people in Komi are trapped in industrial zone of Lukoil. When you live in a big city, it never occurs to you that somewhere else, people are suffering from problems such as these. The main demand of the skiers is to prohibit operating oil pipelines older than 20 years. The main cause of oil spills (about 90% of ruptures) is accidents at in-field oil pipelines due to corrosion. They also want Lukoil to stop barbarous industrial exploration of Komi lands.Locations:Eastern Europe-Komi Republic-RussiaDate:15 Apr, 2018Credit:© Igor Podgorny / GreenpeaceMaximum size:4992px X 3328pxRestrictions:FILE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD BY EXTERNAL MEDIA UNTIL 09/03/2026.
