The war of the Greens against second lift in Bansko is an ecological nonsense

The Greens do not want to comment on the fact that an intentional camera has recorded 2,500 vehicles entering the forests of Pirin just for one day. Can anyone imagine the exhaust gases of 2,500 cars? Every third car on the highway emits thick black smoke. We can reasonably assume that at least 800 vehicles that have entered the heart of Pirin mountain have smoked it as a heavy smoker – a toilet at the station. And this is only for one day. For two days – 5,000 cars. For a month? For a year? For five years?

 

At the same time, the lift remains the quietest, environmentally friendly, paths, land, plants and animals protecting transport. Only the hot air balloons transport is more-ethereal transport than the lift. Pirin mountain will become a truly healthy mountain when the cars access is forbidden. Just like it is in Switzerland.

 

Or like it is in the national parks in the USA, whereby the tourists walk between 2 and 5 km from the parking lot to a tourist centre to pay their fee and get a permission to go to the camping site, that is for example another 5 km away. Or like the road transport is forbidden in countless unique natural sites where people go driven by love of beauty, and not because they insist on having their favourite car be behind them so that they could easily take out the grills to cook outdoor.

How did UNESCO change its position on the extension of the ski zone on the territory of the Pirin National Park and allowed the construction of a second booth and new ski tracks? Whether a troll who does not like Pirin mountain has sneaked into UNESCO or it is about a breakthrough of the rationality, which unlocks the opportunities for business, sport and the creation of a long-term perspective?

 

The possibility comes down to the preparation of an environmental assessment on the basis of the projects presented. The absolute ban on using the mountain for sport is bordered by a terror over a whole region in the country.  

 

The biggest lie, raised on posters and disseminated against the appropriate payment, was that 48 percent of Pirin Mountain would be built up. This would be an unbelievable design and architectural miracle, because it is supposed that a new booth and another ski track will take another 46 percent from the mountain by adding them to the current 2.

  The lie of the Greens continues to be circulated in meetings and media   Yes, the geographical truth is that the ski zone occupies only 2 per cent of the whole mountain and there is no construction of any building in any part of the ski territory, and there haven’t been any plans for such a construction. The reason for not having such plans is based on the concept for providing perfect conditions for mountain sports and each building would be a direct obstacle because it requires more roads and urban infrastructure.

 

The area where the ski zone is to be expanded neither represents an animal shelter nor a forest where people usually walk. The region around the current ski track is known only because it is already a ski zone. It is about a highly inaccessible part of the mountain, which does not provide neither views and meadows, nor has it ever been used for tourist routes.

  The new cabin and the future ski track suggest cutting down greenery, but it has long been known that the tempo at which the forest is recovering in Pirin mountain is about five times faster than the amount of the trees cut, where it is done legally.   There is no ecological problem and it has never stood, and this is well known to those who continue to lie on fabrications on the 48 percent construction and concrete pouring in the mountain. Let us remind you again: the ski zone occupies 2 per cent.

 

The multitude of controversies show that many of the opponents of the infrastructure changes in the mountain has neither ever gone skiing in their lives, nor have they even reached the slopes of Pirin Mountain. And while for some of the people anchored in the cities the limitation comes from the lack of energy to move into the mountains, for others the protest for the sake of protesting is a manifestation of civil courage.

 

Why are the business and the health of Pirin Mountain inextricably connected? Only the successful business can fund a qualitative maintenance of the mountain. This means that the construction of tracks, marking that is visible at night and in bad weather; toilets, because otherwise the mountain becomes a place where used napkins can float freely.

 

Two lifts in Bansko are pursuing a much bigger goal: the final stop of people climbing the mounting by car. The cars particularly are the rudest interference in the nature protection! That's why it sounds incredible and ridiculous when representatives of the Greens in particular insist on building more parking lots.

 

At the same time, the Bulgarians are worshiping those Swiss resorts where you leave your car in a parking lot and walk like a mule with all your luggage two kilometers or more away just to get to the resort village. Oh, the Bulgarians say – “But it is so clean there! Oh, but it is so beautiful in Switzerland! Oh, how white it is! How blue!”. There - in Switzerland, where cars are forbidden to access the resorts for years.
