Opening of the cleanup. Scenario for an environmental cleanup event “the earth is our home”

16.04.2016

On April 16, 2016, in the Moscow Sokolniki Culture and Recreation Park, the opening ceremony of the All-Russian environmental cleanup event “Green Spring - 2016” took place, organized by the MEOO “Greenlight”. The event gave the official start to environmental cleanup days and other socially significant events under the banner of “Green Spring” throughout the country.

Despite the sudden bad weather that hit Moscow - it was pouring rain from the very morning, periodically giving way to hail and snow - the opening ceremony was attended by more than 500 people.

First Deputy Minister of Education and Science Russian Federation Natalya Vladimirovna Tretyak sent a welcome letter to the event participants.

“Without exaggeration, the All-Russian environmental cleanup day “Green Spring - 2016” can be called an event of national significance, capable of influencing the formation ecological culture Russians, instilling in the younger generation a caring attitude towards their land,” noted N.V. Tretyak.

“The All-Russian Cleanup Day as the largest environmental event modern Russia annually brings together more than 2 million like-minded people from all over the country in their common desire to make their street, their district, their city cleaner, more comfortable and cozy

This is clear evidence that environmental issues are given great importance today, and among us there are many who care about the fate of present and future generations, whose well-being directly depends on the state of the environment,” the appeal says.

“Thanks to the coordinated, altruistic work of volunteers, the appearance of our cities and villages is being renewed, the ecological situation in forests and water areas is improving, and the natural resources of the planet are being preserved,” noted the First Deputy Minister.

The events carried out invariably attract new supporters to the ranks of the environmental movement, who will help preserve and enhance the beauty of our planet. I wish the participants of the cleanup Have a good mood, fruitful work, good health and happiness!”, says N.V.’s greeting. Tretyak.

Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Natural Resources, Environmental Management and Ecology Vladimir Ivanovich Kashin, in turn, noted that participation in cleanup days becomes a measure of a person’s social activity and opens up the opportunity for everyone to experience the joy of collective work and pride in its visible results, when something is transformed before our eyes. the world.

“We are all interested in creating a comfortable living environment for ourselves, our children and grandchildren. This goal cannot be achieved alone. You cannot enjoy the cleanliness of your property, hiding behind a personal fence, knowing that outside there are heaps of garbage thrown over this fence, or thrown from the window of an apartment, car, train, etc., or simply taken out of your pocket - onto the lawn, sidewalk , into a pond. This is especially noticeable in the spring, when the snow melts and traces of human negligence are exposed. But in fact, these are signs of a lack of environmental culture and, in fact, an irresponsible attitude towards oneself. How to overcome this?

Subbotnik, like a vaccination, creates immunity from thoughtless actions in relation to objects that have become unnecessary. After all, those who have spent their own efforts for the common good will never litter,” emphasized the Chairman of the Committee on Natural Resources, Environmental Management and Ecology of the State Duma.

“Green Spring” should unite environmental initiatives of citizens, organizations and authorities and concentrate their efforts on priority areas stated by the MEOO “Greenlight” and other organizers of this action in program materials and focusing public attention on solving complex environmental problems.

Over the past two or three years, the State Duma has considered and adopted an unprecedented number of legislative initiatives. But without public support, these laws are doomed to remain words on paper. It is the public that is able to provide real practical assistance in establishing an environmental imperative in the relationship between man and nature, in order to create favorable living conditions for current and future generations,” the appeal says.

“We must solve all environmental problems together, based on the specific situation in the regions of Russia, which are distinguished by diverse natural and geographical conditions, unique specially protected areas and unique representatives of the flora and fauna. The President of the Russian Federation is also aiming at this. It is no coincidence that by his decree he declared the next 2017 the Year of Ecology.

Therefore, I would like to say special thanks to the organizers of Green Spring. We have a common opinion on all main areas, and the main thing now is to take it into account when developing new bills,” noted V.I. Kashin.

“I appeal to participants, volunteers and volunteers to accept the most Active participation in organizing and conducting cleanup days for planting trees, cleaning areas, and so on throughout Russia!

I wish you all success, health and happiness!

I wish everyone worthy to receive well-deserved prizes and awards of the “Green Spring”!” says the address of the Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Natural Resources, Environmental Management and Ecology.

“MEOO Greenlight actively and fruitfully cooperates with local cleanup organizers, educational and environmental organizations. We sent more than 3,000 different items of paraphernalia with the symbols of the “Green Spring” to all registered regions. We also provide the organizers of the “Green Spring” cleanup days in the regions with the necessary equipment for carrying out environmental cleanup days, purchase seedlings for planting, order transport for collecting waste paper in educational institutions, and also provide other assistance to the participants of the all-Russian action.”

Deputy Head Sergei Aleksandrovich Melnikov delivered a greeting to the participants of the opening ceremony of the All-Russian environmental cleanup event “Green Spring” on behalf of the head of the Department of Natural Resources Management and Environmental Protection of the City of Moscow Anton Olegovich Kulbachevsky.

“Today we are launching community cleanups that will take place throughout the country. According to a good tradition, on April Saturdays, Muscovites clean up squares, parks, public places, and tidy up natural areas, banks of reservoirs and courtyards of the capital. Spring is a time of renewal, love, the blossoming of nature after winter sleep.

MOSCOW, April 21. /TASS/. More than a thousand people came to Moscow's Sokolniki Park on April 21 for the opening of the annual All-Russian cleanup event "Green Spring", which is organized for the fifth time by the non-governmental environmental foundation named after V. I. Vernadsky. Representatives of more than 40 companies and educational institutions not only from Moscow, but also from the Moscow region, a TASS correspondent reports.

As the organizers of the event note, the cleanup in Sokolniki became one of the most widespread in the capital this weekend.

“Every year, from year to year, the number of participants in our All-Russian cleanup event “Green Spring” is growing. People in Kamchatka, Sakhalin, and in Leningrad region, in St. Petersburg itself

In all subjects of the Russian Federation,” said Vladimir Grachev, president of the non-governmental environmental foundation named after V. I. Vernadsky, chairman of the Central Council of the All-Russian Society for Nature Conservation, during the grand opening of the cleanup.

"Green Spring" will last until May 21. And on June 5, on World Nature Conservation Day and All-Russian Ecologist Day, a ceremonial award ceremony for activists will take place in the presidential administration hall. According to Grachev, then about 2 thousand people will gather together.

Over the course of four years, the cleanup brought together about 6.5 million volunteers throughout Russia. On April 21 of this year, the season opened not only in Moscow, but also in St. Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Novosibirsk, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. In the Pribaikalsky National Park in the Irkutsk region, the head of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, Sergei Donskoy, took part in the cleanup. According to the department's press service, the bodies of two KamAZ and Ural vehicles were completely filled with garbage.

In Moscow, employees of the central office of Rosvodresursy, with the participation of representatives of the Moscow-Oka Basin Water Administration, the federal state budgetary water management institution "Tsentrregionvodkhoz" and the state institution "Mosoblvodkhoz" held a cleanup day at the Khimki reservoir in the Severnoye Tushino park.

Subbotnik in Sokolniki

In Sokolniki, two important points of volunteer work were planting 200 fir trees in the depths of the park and helping to tidy up the territory of the Great Rose Garden.

“The large rose garden is on the verge of modernization, so funds were not allocated for its spring maintenance. The help of volunteers was simply priceless for us this year. A small department consisting of pensioners and disabled people could not cope with such a huge volume,” she said TASS Deputy Head of the Flower Department of the Park Yulia Morozova.

Volunteers planted pansies (violas) in flowerpots - they are not afraid of frost and will be able to delight visitors already during the May holidays. Three lilac bushes (two purple and white) also took their place. Their predecessors died of old age, and they decided to replace them. The spherical maple, which was also lost, will also return to the alley of the “Big Rose Garden”.

“I believe that cleanup should be held not just every year, but every month, every week, so that our nature becomes better and better. So that we live and enjoy the beauty around us. We have already participated in the “Green Spring”. I like it and remove leaves, and plant flowers and trees - do everything, as long as everything is beautiful,” Ulyana, one of the students of the Moscow cadet corps “Boarding School for Students of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation” who participated in the improvement of the rose garden, shared with TASS.

For some participants, Green Spring is a way not only to help make the city cleaner and more beautiful, but also a kind of lesson in friendship. The cleanup event was such an event for a team of seventh-graders from the Naro-Fominsk school for students with disabilities, who came to Sokolniki on their own along with their geography teacher Elena Pavitskaya. “We do good. I think this is very useful for children - they learn to love nature,” Elena noted in a conversation with TASS.

One of her charges, eleven-year-old Seryozha, went with his friends to the cleanup event, even despite his arm being in a cast. “My friends told me that it’s very good here, it’s fun. We climbed everywhere there, played. I like everything, and I plant at my grandmother’s,” he shared with TASS.

Other Moscow subbotniks

Outside the framework of the “Green Spring”, a cleanup was held in the Moscow nature reserve “Valley of the Setun River”. It was organized by the capital's environmental management department. As part of the cleanup, trees were planted and birdhouses were hung. Together with the staff of the Botanical Garden of Moscow State University "Apothecary Garden", activists created the Hydrangea Garden.

Participants could also try their hand at quizzes and a photo quest.

The cleanup day of the Russian Geographical Society was held in the Krasnaya Presnya park. As part of it, Muscovites could not only help tidy up the park, but also attend a lecture by traveler, member of the Russian Geographical Society and author of the Green Ring of Moscow walking route, Alexander Sovetov.

There were also film screenings of the documentary “Franz Josef Land” and three films from the “Wild Russia” series.
