"We care": College and university teams are invited to take part in an environmental event

Teams from colleges and universities can contribute to improving the environmental situation.

The Republican Center for Ecology and Local Lore offers young people to make their native places cleaner by joining the garbage collection event "We Care".

Teams of 10 to 20 students from specialized secondary and higher education institutions are invited to participate. They need to independently identify the areas (preferably coastal) where cleaning is required, and restore order there. It will be necessary to organize the collection and removal of plastic, glass, metal, worn tires, household appliances, furniture and construction debris, excluding organic waste such as grass, foliage and the like. Moreover, different types of solid waste must be completed in separate packages: "PET (polyethylene terephthalate)", "Plastic and film", "Glass", "Metal", "Other garbage". Upon completion of the work, all bags must be stacked in one place, pre-agreed by the participants and agreed with representatives of housing and communal services. The winner of the Republican environmental event "We care" will be the team with the highest waste collection coefficient, which will be calculated using a special formula.

To become a participant of the promotion, please send the specified application form by e-mail ecology@rcek.by until September 11. And the event itself will be held from September 16 to 23.
