In the village of Botakara, Bukhar-Zhyrau district, an environmental campaign «Taza Zhagalau» brought together about a hundred concerned residents. Volunteers went to the bank of the Nura River to clear the coastal area of household waste and tidy it up.
In a few hours, participants managed to significantly improve the sanitary condition of the coast. Bags of waste, cleaned sections of the bank, and tidied recreation areas were the result of joint work. Organizers note that such initiatives not only solve environmental problems but also foster a responsible attitude towards the environment.
— The cleanliness of the environment depends on each of us. Such campaigns not only improve the environmental situation but also unite people around a common goal — protecting nature, — emphasized the acting director of the Youth Resource Center of Bukhar-Zhyrau district, Yernat Abutayev.
The campaign went beyond the offline format. An online campaign «Өзіңнен баста» («Start with yourself») was held on social media, involving youth, eco-activists, and bloggers. Posts with the hashtag #TazaKazakhstan drew the attention of a wide audience to issues of ecology and personal responsibility.
The campaign was held within the framework of the national project «Taza Kazakhstan». Its main goal is to reduce environmental pollution, involve residents in environmental projects, and create a comfortable and safe living environment.
Organizers are confident that such steps, even local ones, shape the ecological culture of society and become the basis for more large-scale changes.
