Initiative International Public Foundation together with Active volunteers
youth organization and Kyrgys Global actively participated in World CleanupDay. The total number of participants was 30
people. We went to the territory of the "Vostok-5" micro-district. As
a result of the campaign, more than 80 bags of trash were collected.
Background: The idea for World Cleanup Day
came from activists in Estonia. It was in Estonia that the "Let's do
it!" movement was born, and this year it celebrates its 10th anniversary. Since
that time, the cleanup day has become an international event, attracting 18
million people around the world. World Cleanup Day is designed to draw public
attention to the environmental situation in the country and the world. The
problem of environmental pollution kills millions of people every year, and
activists urge citizens not only to join the Cleanup Day, but also to think
about keeping public places clean, using resources wisely and disposing of them
properly.
