Topic 4
Prague and the Czech Republic have been slow to encourage and adopt sustainable tourism practices. Part of the blame, like everything else, goes to Communism.
By the time of the Velvet Revolution in 1989, the city and country were on a downward ecological spiral.
In Prague, the air was unbreathable during winter inversions, when slow-moving high-pressure systems would trap dirty air in the lower atmosphere.
Much of the city is now heated by natural gas, not coal, leaving the air much cleaner in the winter months . The water is still too polluted to swim in. In the outlying areas, property developers have transformed large swaths of land into residential and office complexes, destroying green areas and adding more roads and cars to the mix
