June-Hleborost.. Nature awakened to the beginning of summer and now its active growth comes, therefore the month is called bread. Rye galls, the gardens are filled with a rapidly blooming greens. The sun climbs high above the sky and starts the oven even stronger, the day becomes long, and the evening is long and warm.

June: Highlights the Earth

Description of the nature of summer at its very beginning, in June (I - II Week).
Summer came. June. Nature in summer blooms, sleeping, the gardens are full of greenery, the meadows are covered with a wide loop of green grass. In the sky, it slowly soak, like huge ships, heavy cumulative clouds. And although the month of May under the end was bald warm and in summer hot days, the first June days are often cool, sometimes rainy. It is not worth upset, because the express cloudy weather at the beginning of the month is briefly. Dry anticyclone will bring warm winds, and the sun standing in the sky will provide warm and hot weather. In June, the air temperature is moderate without sharp jumps and averages +15 + 17 ° C.

You need time to flare up. There are still long hot, burning and just warm pleasant days, when the sun wakes up early, and it comes very soon, giving to intoxicate before immersed at twilight. And here the sun begins to sparkle, hot days are coming. Greenery blooms with mighty, giving edible herbs. The sky blue and clean, from time to time fluffy clouds float. Gray air exudes flowering flavor.

And, suddenly, unexpectedly, the roast summer sun is replaced by the taucia clouds. The sky rapidly darkens. After all, just that there was the sun, and now it was absorbed by the Terrible Darkness, having approached the front, covers everything alive in darkness. Nature is alarming, the birds calm down, only the strong gusts of the wind with each time intensifying, are ready to disrupt the branches from the trees trees on their way.

The first volley hits the thunder, and immediately, water as from the bucket, the shower is charged. The sky is not visible, only the ignition of lightning with a cod alternate with grommets. Thunderstorm pokes as unexpectedly as it began. The sky is brighten, lightning outbreaks become less likely, rolled thunders go away. They break the first rays of the sun, brightly reflecting in the puddles. And again the life of the summer forest comes to life, birds are joyful, animals leave the shelter. In the meantime, the first mushrooms appear in the most hidden dark places.

Start of summer in the folk calendar

"Swallow Morning begins, and the nightingale ends the evening"

In the very offensive of the summer, an unique rite of "baptism of cuckoo" was performed on Rusi. After the complete surge of winter, cold winds and the hasties, it was necessary to draw a summer nature for new plant forces, good weather and for a noble harvest. In ancient Rus, a description of the summer from the first days was so. Early in the morning on the first Sunday of the summer, Russian girls went to the forest to find the grass Yatryshnik - she was called the cuccushkins of the bridges, and then, broke, carried in the hut to sew the outfits, each for her cuckoo. Then cuckooed, meeting with each other, people hugged and kissed. After all, it is breeding with each other, becoming closer, together they brought to themselves the generosity of the summer.

In June, the bread is boiling, not a gift for the month of June was called "choleboard". The whole of the first decade of the month in the fields took place, starting from the days of the Falaley-undertaker and deer, on June 2 and 3, from the names of which it is clear that the cucumbers were seated these days, Len, late wheat, as well as barley with buckwheat. On June 7, a TLA appeared, feeding by plant juices, highlighting a medical dew. By 11 June, Ear of Bread had already boiled on Fedos-Kolesser, the beans were planted. From the earliest dawn until the late sunset, people worked in the field to have time until the end of Seva, who accounted for the second half of June to the Equinox Day.

Summer in Russian poetry

Summer ... One of the most amazing, beautiful and bright seasons of the year. Summer nature is special, impressive. Every summer is associated with something: sounds, smells of sensations. These are juicy meadow herbs, fragrance of wildflowers and even dusk, firing firing coolness. All natural splendor of summer has reflected in the work of famous Russian poets. They devoted great pores a huge number of romantic, exciting lines.

A real anthem awakening nature is Oda Summer Sergey Yesenin. His summer is warm, washed with silver dew, charming in his peace. This delightful natural idyll is divided daily with the onset of the day on the fragments of everyday worries, in order to revive again in the next morning.

Round the star golden
Zatka mirror treated
Walk light on the river creek
And the roscy net of the skysclene.

Smiled sleepy birchings,
Silk braids disengaged.
Green earrings rustle,
And burn silver dew.

Under the overgrown nettle
Crazen the bright mother of pearl
And, swing, whispering is playfully:
"Good morning!"

Athanasius Fet in his work deeply describes the nature of the summer, in particular, the lines of the poem "I came to you with greetings ...", cause an association with the maturity of feelings, relationships. The allegority of the strings transmits special acuteness of life and semantic content through the romantic feelings, the lightness of being and aura of carelessness.

I came to you with greetings,
Tell that the sun rose,
That it is hot light
On sheets fluttered;

Tell me that the forest woke up
All woke up, the branch of each
Each bird was fixed
And spring full of thirst;

Tell me with the same passion
How yesterday I came again,
That the soul is still happiness
And you are ready to serve;

Tell me from everywhere
I am merry on me
What I don't know what I will
Sing - But only the song is ripening.

Summer is different. Everyone sees it in its own way, experiencing sometimes mixed and contradictory, but invariably strong feelings.

June: The sun goes on turn

Description of the Summer Nature of June (III - IV Week).
It continues to bloom lilac, the smell of fresh grass is spread around the districts. Summer nature fills the air with vegetable incenses. Already, the poplar dismissed the fluff in the seeds, so that only waiting for the light gusts of the wind, expanding a new life in the district. In the forest, the smell of spices in the stall and reservoirs is spread, no longer floral, but a sweet grass.

Greens are sleeping with might and main, but also the strawberries proceeded by the end of the month. And the blueberries are already sleeping behind her, just have time to collect. In the morning clock, a cry of swallows is heard, a frog cook in the reservoirs, and the evening ends with a lullaby Solovna song. This time describes the summer nature as the most gracious warm season for working in the field, evening walks and nightly gatherings by the fire.

On Park Alley, the white blizzard from the poplar fluff, and the winter in fluffy warm snow, swears on the park alleys. The clearing covered with white heads of the hordes of dandelions, as if hundreds of little astronauts landed on the ground. That's the wind, shaking dandelions from side to the side, snewing seeds in parachutics and incur ravoisi. The peak of chicks, which is informed with the crowns of trees, parents barely have time to feed the voracious adheft chicks. Young grows quickly, you will not notice how already pops up from the nest, once or two and flew.

The second half of the month in the folk calendar

"The sun from Peter-turn softens the move, the month for profit goes"

In June, a variety of plants, medicinal herbs bloom, Ivan-Da-Marya rises, at every step of plantains, buttercups, and the warm winds of Ivan-tea. Forest edges are scattered at juicy points of berries. In the forest, you can choose a lot of ripe strawberries, and a little later on the bushes, the wild strawberry will turn around.

It comes the day on June 25 - the point of solvent. From this time, the sun turns towards the reduction of days. Now in the mornings low above the ground grass covers cold dew. This natural water can be drunk, because it is very clean, assembled from the axial air vapor, summer dew does not contain salt deposits. Under the end of June 29, Tikhon comes, and, indeed, the sun reduces the move, and the birds subsided. Sun slowly, unhurried steps hangs on the sky. Only in the shadow of the shelter of deciduous trees there is salvation from growing rays increasing. Summer goes into hot July.

Summer in Russian painting

Russian artists are very colorful and diverse transmit a picture of the summer landscape. Here you can see the majestic green trees, and the perfect field, and an extraordinary turquoise sky with light gentle white clouds.


(Painting B. V. Shcherbakova "June in the suburbs")

A description of the summer nature is unusually colorfully represented in the painting B. V. Shcherbakov "June in the Moscow region", where the real greens of the forest is depicted. From the front right corner to the depth of the picture, wriggling the laid river, lies with a smooth surface of the river. Through both parties are mighty trees, it seems that it is pines in the afternoon with deciduous rocks. On the right, almost the river is a slim birch. In the foreground on the left - stacks of the removed hay. The upper part of the picture takes the clean sky, on which only fluffy white clouds are visible.

Medicine stepped far ahead, but in the modern world due to constant stress, hurry and high pace of life there are still many health risks. More and more people begin to think about this issue and follow the work of their body. However, balanced nutrition, regular classes in the gym and the refusal of bad habits will not allow the proper effect if there is an insufficient amount of oxygen in the body. What is useful for fresh air, where to find it and how to breathe it? Let's figure it out.

Surely you noticed how, getting out of the stuffy room outside, become like another person. The well-being is improved, the mind of the mind and good mood is returned, there is a tide of strength. It is clear why this happens: after all, fresh air is necessary for the brain and each cell body. And what other benefits brings fresh air? Consider a few points:

  • Improve digestion. This advantage is very helpful if you want to bring yourself into shape and lose weight, - of course, provided in the condition of fresh air: walks, jogs or exercise.
  • If you find that the cup of coffee no longer helps to cheer up - do not be surprised. Perhaps it is provoking. When you give the brain more than fresh air, the body can function more efficiently. Then you will clearly think and lightly act.
  • If you have problems with arterial pressure, fresh air is simply necessary. Many doctors advise unhurried walks to normalize pressure - especially hypertensive.
  • Immune system is strengthened. To protect the body from pathogenic bacteria and viruses, leukocytes require a certain amount of oxygen, which can just be found in the fresh air. Therefore, many lovers of long walks, as a rule, are less likely to suffer with colds.
  • Fresh air is useful to health and strengthen the entire body as a whole: it improves the work of vessels, lungs, hearts and other organs.

It becomes clear that the influence of fresh air on health is invaluable - both for adults and children. Irritability, overwork, misinterpretation, laziness, nervous breakies - all this disappears when we inhale the "right" air. Therefore, try to enjoy the time spent on walks, and get the maximum benefit from it. It may be not easy: sometimes it seems to us that we should not be distracted from important work on the exchange. But it is very important to do at least five-minute breaks from business and "ventilate". This will help return the previous concentration of attention and will allow working much more efficiently.

We spend almost all day indoors. Many find out on the street only for 5 minutes - when they leave the house and sit in the car. But the use of outdoor walks is extremely significant:

  1. First, as we talked above, oxygen positively affects our health and mood.
  2. Secondly, such a gentle physical activity, as ordinary walking, does not take a lot of strength, and the effect will still be noticeable.
  3. Finally, every walk is new emotions! You can get till the amazing places of the hometown of which have never seen before, thinking about the future plans or get acquainted with interesting people.

This is how regular walking in the fresh air is useful. Only they are often limited to hikes to the store for products once a month. Meanwhile, scientists and doctors say that a person must pass at an average pace of at least five kilometers.

What should I do if on the working day because of the dense schedule it is not possible to find the time for a full-fledged walk? First, it is worth trying to go to work on foot - or at least go around the path, if the work is at the other end of the city. Lunch breaks are also worth spending actively, walking in the nearest grove and admiring nature. You can "recoup" on the weekend: call friends or family for a walk, go beyond the city or to the cottage. A good way to get not only the necessary oxygen dose, but also a lot of new impressions - travel. It is not necessary to spend the surrounding money for luxury resorts - enough to go to the next city to change the situation.

If you love animals, then make yourself a companion for walking! Among the "dog lovers" are often very tightened and healthy people: after all, they walk a lot and play with their four-legged comrades, thus showing physical activity.

If you lead a sedentary lifestyle and are not accustomed to physical exertion, do not strive to bypass the whole city per day. Start with short walks for 15 minutes, gradually increasing time. Then the walk will bring not only the benefit, but also pleasure!

To choose the need for you, use a pedometer. You can buy a "smart" bracelet, reading your physical activity, or download a special application on your smartphone.

We are looking for fresh air: from the mountains of the Caucasus to his own house

Fresh air is far from always equal to the air on the street. Its search in large cities is a difficult task, since natural freshness is destroyed by tobacco smoke, urban could, car exhaust and. So it is necessary to choose the right place to walk.

It is no secret to anyone that walking in the fresh air in the forest area is more useful than the lively highway. After all, many trees (for example, fir, poplar, juniper) isolated phytoncides - substances with a strong bacterial effect. In Japan, for example, there is even a special term "Sinin-yoka", which means "forest baths". Residents of the country of the Rising Sun, practicing "bathing", argue that walking through the forest contribute to improved health and mood.

The benefits of walking through the forest is obvious. Is the mountain air useful? Sure! Surely you heard any small stories in the news about the long-lived gentlemen: because the mountain climate is almost spilled from dust, exhaust gases and industrial waste. However, due to the low pressure of air in the mountains, much less oxygen. Then why does a person feel full forces when going to the mountain resort or hike to snow vertices? The answer is simple: when the amount of oxygen is reduced in inhaled air, the backup forces of the body come into effect. Improve blood circulation, light and chest work. But it is better not to overdo with a height: there is always a risk of hypoxia, and it can lead to loss of consciousness.

If you stay in a closed unbelievable room for a long period of time, you will breathe again and again with the same air. Will rise


While at home or in the office, we have to inhale air saturated with evaporation of furniture, working equipment, plastic, etc. In order to somehow smooth all the negative effects on the atmosphere of the room of the surrounding items, it is possible to start indoor plants with the ability to purify and rehabilitate air. Well-selected living plants not only make an eye with a harmonious combination of shape and color, but also improve the composition of air indoors. All green plants, absorbing carbon dioxide, isolated oxygen into the surrounding space, is known since school bench. But many of them, in addition, destroy pathogenic bacteria, purify air from harmful gases and smells for very short time. Unique in this regard indoor plant is chlorophytum. It literally in a few hours is able to clean the air in the kitchen from the products allocated when burning gas. During the day, chlorophytum cleans the air in 10-12 meter room by 80%. Monster, Ivy, Asparagus, Mokha, Aloe, Spatifylum, are also effective in this regard.

Reduce dryness of air, especially in winter and enrich it with oxygen will help Sansevier - a real oxygen factory. In general, the air is well moisturized. All indoor plants with large leaves - Monster, Maranth. Cipperus, whose homeland is Africa, evaporate through the leaves a lot of water. A pot with this plant needs to be placed in a pallet or aquarium filled with water.

The air that we breathe a long time working at the computer is air devoid of phytoncides, living fragrances, negative ions. "Revivat" such air will help the coniferous plants set next to the working technique - Araucaria, Cryptomeria, Juniper, Thuja, Kiparis. Ceres and Croton will restore the ion composition of the air. All geranium and violet for us are also able to enrich the air of the room with negatively charged ions. Cacti filter various types of radiation.

In the air of our apartments in huge quantities there are microorganisms, including obviously pathogenic, such as staphylococci, pores of mold mushrooms. Finding on the mucous upper respiratory tract of a person can cause various serious diseases, including asthma and allergies. Microbes in the air are dying under the influence of phytoncides allocated by some plant species. Fitoncides are gaseous and easily evaporating substances of complex composition. They have a positive effect on the air environment in already very small doses. Especially generously saturate by air with these plants such as Mirt, various citrus, rosemary, geranium, azalea, diffenbahia, anthurium, sanitary, begonia, TRADESCTION, Lavender, Mint, and especially intensively, this happens. Very well cleans the air of the Lavra ordinary. The volatile discharge of this plant oppress the harmful microorganisms in the air. With long-term finding of such plants in the room, the bacterial background is gradually aligned, approaching the minimum value.

It is no secret that our furniture allocates very harmful substances for health - formaldehydes and phenols. Partially get rid of the air from these poisons of drazes, chlorophytum, aloe, phylodendron, ficus, schifler, spathifylum, and asparagus can absorb salts of heavy metals. It is not necessary to make houses a lot of plants, especially if there is no time for them to care for them. It is enough to grow several well-groomed plants, which will noticeably improve the condition of the air that we breathe in their apartment.

Agree, I don't really want to walk when the street is overcast. Everyone knows that thanks to the sun we get vitamin D, but few people know what it happens even when the sun is not visible behind the clouds. We collected the whole 6 advantages of walking outdoors that literally pushed out for a walk!

First, let's see what happens when you are in a closed room for a long time. First, you breathe the same air in which the amount of oxygen is reduced. Inhalation of this fanner air does not provide your body with enough oxygen. This can lead to problems with physical and psychological health, for example, to dizziness, nausea, headaches, fatigue and moral depletion, irritability, concern, depression, colds and lung diseases. Not a particularly attractive set, right?

Fresh air well affects digestion

Probably, you often heard that after eating it is good to go on a slight walk. Not only movement, but also oxygen helps the body better digest food. This advantage of fresh air is really important if you are trying to lose weight or improve your digestion.

Improves blood pressure and heart rhythm

If you have arterial pressure problems, you must avoid a polluted medium and try to be in place with clean and fresh air. The dirty environment causes the body to work harder to obtain the required amount of oxygen, so the pressure can increase. Of course, it is difficult for residents of megacities to find clean air, but try to get out of nature at least once or twice a week.

Fresh air makes you happier

The amount of serotonin (or hormone joy) depends on the amount of oxygen that you breathe. Serotonin can significantly improve your mood and facilitate the feeling of happiness and well-being. Fresh air helps you feel relaxed. This is especially important for those who are used to raising their mood sweet. The next time you feel the depression, just go for a walk in the park or to the forest and see how it will affect your condition.

Strengthens the immune system

This is especially important in spring when immunity is significantly reduced. Dirt, gray, rain is not particularly attractive for a walk, so at this time of the year we are less and go for a walk. However, white blood cells that are struggling with bacteria and microbes need sufficient oxygen to work properly. Therefore, take a habit of out at least a half-hour walk to help your immunity to strengthen.

Cleans the lungs

When you breathe and exhale through the lungs, along with the air you produce toxins from your body. Of course, it is important to breathe really fresh air in order not to absorb additional toxins. Therefore, we again advise to go to nature as often as possible to restore the work of the lungs.

Increase the amount of energy

Fresh air helps you better think and increases energy levels. Human brain need 20% of body oxygen, imagine? A greater oxygen gives a greater clarity of the brain, improves concentration, helps think more clearly and has a positive effect on the energy level.

And now we give specific advice, how to absorb more fresh air, and some of them can be carried out without leaving the city.

Try running outdoors. Find a forest array in your city or a park with lots of trees and run there. Combining cardio and oxygen well affects the respiratory organs and increases the endurance of the body.

Once a week or two go hiking to the forest. In addition to the fact that you provide your body with oxygen, it can also become a pleasant pastime and even a family tradition. And combining pleasant with useful is always good!

Keep at home and in the workplace large number of plants to improve air quality. Plants produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide (remember the school curriculum?), And some of them can even remove toxic pollutants in the air.

Do physical exercises every day. If possible, do it outdoors. Sport helps more powerfully run blood circulation and supply the body with oxygen.

Check the bedroom before bedtime and, if possible, sleep with an open window. But this item should be performed only to those who do not live in the center of the metropolis.

At the end of 2017, EcoStandard Group Zelenograd is estimated - the most pure area in Moscow. The name "Green City" on a hearing, but besides landscaping on the environment, the presence of industrial zones, air purity and much more. What does the Ecology of Zelenograd depends on, and what are the problems of the city?

What is ecology,and with what they eat

In a broad sense, ecology is the science of the interaction of living organisms among themselves and with the environment. We will consider the ecology as the state of the environment of our city, which consists of air, water, mineral, bioc and energy resources. With surface assessment of ecology, they look at the area of \u200b\u200bforestarkov, other green areas, the presence of highways and airfields, sources of electromagnetic fields and the roaring of the city. Also take into account major sources of negative impact in neighboring areas.

As we said, the environment is five components, the environmental situation depends on the state. For each of them there are monitoring systems: Some evaluate air pollution, others - soil and so for each component. However, these systems do not have uniform approaches to assess the state of the ecology: they do not have a single set of indicators, methods of zoning the territories and periodicity of tracking. Because of this, the obtained values \u200b\u200bare sometimes interpreted ambiguous and biased. It happens like a simple reason: environmentalists interpret the results so that they confirm the necessary hypotheses. Such an approach is clearly visible in the case of global warming: supporters argue that over the past one hundred years, carbon dioxide has increased by a quarter, and their opponents say that it rose only one percent.

Some violations of ecology can be seen without special means of monitoring and complex devices. To estimate the condition of the atmosphere, for example, to look at the color of the snow in the city. If he is white, then everything is fine, but blue, yellow or reddish tint may indicate the presence of harmful substances in the atmosphere. The same works with the rain, for example, the black color indicates the presence of heavy metals in precipitation.

It used to be better?

On this, we will finish with theory and turn to the ecology of Zelenograd, the city of microelectronics, which costs not one factory. In the eighties, waste from enterprises merged into the river to the river, which spoiled Zelenograd reservoirs. During the years of restructuring, the plants stopped. When they were launched again, the waste began to dispose of less dangerous methods. Now trash from the production of microelectronics is taken into several polygons, including Volokolamsky and Solnechnogorsky.

On landscaping of the city and the surroundings, anomalous heat in 2010 and 2011 was affected - the temperature reached 36 degrees. These conditions turned out to be favorable for the reproduction of Coroedov Zhukov. Because of drought and pests, about 20 percent of the forest area of \u200b\u200bthe city had to cut out. It was necessary so that the koroede does not move to neighboring healthy trees. After almost eight years, the trees still sit down to restore the former gardening of the city.

One of the problems has appeared a long time ago during the installation of the plumbing system in the city. Previously, most of the water came from the artesian sources of Zelenograd. Water from them contains a lot of fluorine. Its excessive consumption has adversely affected the state of the teeth and kidney citizens. Especially fluorosis (teeth disease caused by fluorine intoxication - approx. Auth) affects children. Rospotrebnadzor gradually solved this problem: according to statistics for 1980-2015, the incidence of fluorosis among children decreased ten times - from 9 to 0.89 percent. The reason for such an improvement is the transition from the artesian water to the river - at the moment there are only three percent of water from the artesian sources currently in the Zelenograd water supply systems.

Currently, the main problem of the city is garbage, especially polyethylene. His turn is huge worldwide. And at least most of the polyethylene waste is exported from the city and delivered to the burial points, we can still observe the fraud of the forest. One of the most promising ways to solve this problem is biodegradable polyethylene, packages from which you can buy in some supermarkets. However, solving the problem of litter with such polyethylene, we create another: the production of biodegradable packages is even more harmful to the environment than the production of ordinary oil packages. Conventional packages can be used again and again, while biodegradable packages will have to be produced in large quantities in order to satisfy the needs of people.

A radical solution to the garbage problem will be a waste-influence plant, which will be built 40 kilometers from Zelenograd next to the Solnechnogian polygon. Construction will begin in June 2018 and will end in October 2020. The difference between this garbage incinerator in another technical process: the garbage will be burned with plasma at a temperature of 1260 degrees, it will destroy almost all harmful burning waste. Then volatile waste will be filtered and neutralized by cementing. From solid residues, black and non-ferrous metals will be taken on processing, and the remaining garbage will be directed to road construction. The heat obtained during combustion will go into the turbogenerator, which will produce electricity.

Who does ecology in our city? Mosesonitoring service is responsible for identifying and solving environmental problems, and also informs the population. For example, controls emissions of household waste and leaves back on trees suitable for a literary. Part of the data service receives with automatic atmospheric pollution stations. They are three in Zelenograd: in the 11th and 15th microdistrict and not far from the pine alley.

Mim also does not remain aside from environmental issues. The Institute of Perspective Materials and Technologies cooperates with environmental activists, supplies specialized techniques, conducts trainings, open lessons and other events. Also in MIET, organized promotions on the collection of plastic covers and batteries regularly conduct. The assembled garbage will be taken for processing or disposal.

Despite the fact that Zelenograd is already recognized as the purest district of Moscow, events are still being held to improve the state of the environment. First of all, the ecology of the city depends on ourselves. Do not be lazy and convey the garbage to the nearest trash, pass the batteries and covers to the reception point. Together we can make Zelenograd still cleaner and more beautiful.
