The development of cities is accompanied by constant construction. This development cannot be stopped; accordingly, it is impossible to stop the expansion of territories through construction, which in one way or another implies an impact on the environment. But this impact can be minimized and balanced with the help of "green" building. It will help reduce the risk of environmental pollution and the negative impact on the person himself. Understanding the need to create ESG security will help prevent an environmental crisis.
Awareness of the state of ecology today is present both among the population and the state, which is a positive trend on the way to improving the environment and people's lives. Despite the fact that this understanding has appeared relatively recently, it is actively gaining popularity abroad and in Russia, however, it must be instilled, including in the population at the regional and local levels, and not only in large cities. It must be learned that the use of environmentally friendly consumables in construction will help create a better future for us and future generations, without requiring large investments.
