Have you ever seen green snow? The snow we usually see is white, but recently the Russian city of Pervouralsk has repeatedly found green snowflakes because of environmental pollution, which has deepened residents' concerns about pollution, poor waste management and the possible impact of nearby factory activities.

A series of events in Russia have attracted the attention of the Internet. Residents of Siberian towns watched with dismay as the surrounding snow turned green and black, and toxic emissions forced some to wear masks. These seem to have something to do with local factories, especially chrome plants behind green snow, and the Putin government is under pressure as the protests accelerate.

Snow pollution is not new. Activists have been warning of the dangers of darkness for years, with black, brown and gray stripes that can be clearly seen in the air in the Arctic-because of its impact on climate change. Dark snow is stained with black carbon, AKA soot-unburned particles released by burning fossil fuels from power plants, factories and other sources, and carried to the ice sheet in the wind. When soot falls on snow, it is not only an aesthetic disaster: reflective snow enhances the earth's albedo (the surface's ability to reflect sunlight), reflecting light and heat back into space, but dark snow absorbs heat and accelerates global warming. Eliminating soot can slow climate change and help lower the temperature by 0.5 degrees Celsius.

The beauty of ​​ in the snow always haunts our imagination, symbolizing purity and transcendence, returning to a mythical state of innocence. The events of snow turning green and black are causing more and more alarms. So how worried are we about the more and more colorful snow in the world?
