The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan announces the start of the republican contest ECOleader. The most eco-friendly enterprises and educational institutions whose task is to teach how to care of nature, public figures who are not indifferent to environmental problems and, of course, journalists who during the year became real assistants to the inspectors of the Ministry of Ecology of Tatarstan, are invited to participate.

The works are accepted for the following groups and nominations:

The Nabarazhnye Chelny enterprise Art-stroy was ordered to minimize and purify harmful emissions by the inspector of the Prikamsky territorial administration of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan. Under the instruction of ecologists, the organization carried out a complex of measures to improve the quality of atmospheric air, in particular, assembled the unit with a three-stage purification system. Poor work of these facilities caused the release of polluted substances into the atmosphere. Non-observance of the rules for the protection of atmospheric air was recorded by the inspector of the Prikamsky administration.

The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan, on the eve of the Day of Recycling, implemented a project to install containers for collection of used chemical current sources (batteries) and their subsequent disposal. Currently, 30 containers have been installed in the authorities offices, major shopping centers and higher educational institutions of Kazan. Specialized waste collection containers are located:
- in the State Council of the Republic of Tatarstan (Svobody square, 1),
- in the Ministry of Land and Property Relations of the Republic of Tatarstan (Vishnevsky St. 26),
- in the Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Tatarstan (Yamasheva Ave. 37a),

The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan accepts reports from small and medium-sized businesses on the formation, use, neutralization and disposal of waste. Reporting is necessary for a clear understanding: what kinds of waste and in what quantities are formed, to which specialized organizations these wastes are transferred in accordance with the concluded contracts. This is necessary to reduce the negative impact of waste on the environment, the amount of waste generated and the amount of waste disposed of at the dedicated sites. Also, work will help to prevent unauthorized waste disposal.

Tatarstanians at the age of 18 to 30 are invited to participate in the contest for youth “My land, I'm responsible for you”, dedicated to the Year of Ecology in Russia and the Year of Ecology and Public Spaces in the Republic of Tatarstan. The organizer is the Republican Youth Library with the support of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan.
