Subbotniks never happen too much! This is such a necessary thing - both for nature, and for a particular locality, and for each of us. By tradition, as soon as the snow melts, pupils, students, employees of various organizations voluntarily and forcibly come out to fight with garbage. Have you heard about the Green Russia subbotnik, the most massive environmental project in recent Russian history? Not yet? Then let's get to know him better. We are sure that next year you will definitely become one of the participants of the action!
What is this?
What is so special about the environmental clean-up "Green Russia"? Firstly, the number of participants - all of Russia, from Salekhard to Kaliningrad, takes part in this project. Secondly, the timing. If we are used to expecting a subbotnik in the spring, then the Green Russia event takes place in the fall. These are all Saturdays in September. The third feature is voluntariness. You can invite friends, colleagues, relatives with you. But that depressing "obligation" is not here.
And, finally, the most pleasant, fourth feature -of course, awards and prizes. Subbotnik "Green Russia" is a modern and fashionable action. Participants share their impressions of participation in social networks, attach photos and videos of their own achievements. And on the basis of this, the organizers select the winner, who is awarded the "Ecological Oscar" itself.
Besides this lucky winner, other laureates will be chosen who will not be left without prizes at the main award ceremony in December. In particular, the following contests were organized:
- "Best eco-report".
- "The best plan of events for the Green Russia subbotnik".
- "Best Press Service".
- "The most massive participation".
In the current 2017, the action started for the fifth time. Millions of citizens took to the streets on September Saturdays to tidy up the local area, remove the garbage that was eyesore, and plant trees and shrubs. In a word, to make this world even a little bit better.
