Participants were educated through videos and exhibits about the negative effects of plastic use, proper waste disposal techniques, how to recycle paper and the benefits of adopting sustainable habits. Collected waste was handed over to “Tamiz Shahar” OJSC and the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources for responsible disposal.
In addition to the waste collection activities, a master class was also held to promote the reduction of plastic bag usage.

The aim of the master class was to foster a culture of sustainability and involve local residents in environmental protection activities.
