How are modern technologies related to ecology and how do they affect the environment? These and other questions were answered by schoolchildren of the 5th grade of MBOU "Secondary school No. 2" in Menzelinsk. The event was attended by specialists of the Kama Territorial Administration of the Ministry. During the environmental lesson, students acted as statesmen, businessmen, scientists and activists and tried to work out ways to solve environmental issues together. The guys also discussed digital transformation in the field of ecology. Let us recall that 2022 was declared the Year of Digitalization by the President of the Republic of Tatarstan. "Digitalization is the future of the environment, as it allows automating many processes. This makes them more efficient and accessible. For example, the division of garbage will soon be carried out automatically, as well as the control of polluting emissions into the atmospheric air," the students noted.
