The 24th annual environmental campaign of the Russian Geographical Society with the support of the Ministry of Ecology, dedicated to the International Day of Water Purification, took place today

3 June 2023, Saturday

The campaign was attended by students of Kazan colleges, volunteers and young naturalists – winners of the drawing contest. 

In two hours, 150 participants collected 35 bags of waste divided into fractions. 

At the bottom of the lake, RGS divers found a paddle and plastic bottles. 

As part of the eco-campaign, the winners of the drawing contest were awarded diplomas and valuable prizes.

"Despite the fact that we have been holding our clean-up days on this lake every year since 2005, it requires attention, we have been raising plastic bottles regularly since the day of the lake. But at the same time, it is gratifying to see that every year our like-minded people are becoming more," said Andrey Agarkov, Deputy chairman of the regional branch of the Russian Geographical Society. 

The clean-up was organized within the framework of the All-Russian ecological actions "Ecosystem: marathon of green affairs" and "Water of Russia" of the national project "Ecology" #marathonecosystem
