A specialist of the South-Eastern Territorial Administration of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Tatarstan held an eco-lesson on "Modern environmental problems" for children of the Nurlat Children's Creativity Center "Kilechek". Venera Mingaleeva spoke about the global problem of the modern world – a huge amount of accumulated waste and how long it will take for certain materials to completely decompose. The inspector taught simple rules of separate garbage collection and explained how the work of garbage sorting stations is arranged. Traditionally, inspectors of the Ministry of Ecology conduct such lessons in schools, kindergartens and other institutions in order to instill simple environmental rules in the younger generation.
