I think it's too early for that. 1917 does not really have a concept of environmental health.
One possibility I could see mitigating this is a more technocratic government. Under Stalin, the "bourgeois engineers" who had helped build the early USSR were liquidated and the famers who had recently acquired noble landholdings dekulakised. These are two groups that understood, or could come to understand, sustainability. There is nothing magical or hypermodern about the idea, anyone who manages forests or herds understands it, and it translates well into other fields. In theory, a society based on the principle of loing-term planning should be receptive to it. in practice, of course, telling Stalin something couldn't be done was a one-way ticket to Siberia, so these things got sidetracked. If a less dictatorial and paranoid government were to emerge (and the Bolsheviks perhaps get off their cult of the worker and his clear understanding of all things through class consciousness), managing the resources of the Soviet peoples responsibly could quickly become a government priority. You'd start with importing Western forestry practices and product quality controls. A genuinely functioning Gosplan would be able to track the impact relatively quickly, and by the 1940s would be in a position to rebuild Soviet society "for the future", as a sustainable and efficient economy. It is still going to be an idea of sustainability from the early 20th century, but once it is on the radar of the authorities, it will improve.
Incidentally, the story that Nazi Germany was environmentally friendly is largely a myth. The Nazis introduced some public health and animal cruelty legislation and maintained an old German tradition of sutainable forest management and Romantic concern for landscape. As a dictastorship, they could be a tad more effective about that. What they were not is in any meaningful way "green". They never addressed things like industrial pollution, toxic ingredients in a variety of products, or even private household pollution (which they could have done easily without alienating any supporters that mattered). It is right, though, that the social dynamics that supported Nazi Germany's environmental policies, such as they were, were absent in the USSR.
