Kislovodsk residents collected more than 2.6 tons of waste paper on the first day of the environmental campaign

In Kislovodsk, the seventh Ecobat “ZaRodina” was launched. For a month, educational institutions and organizations of the city have been accumulating waste paper - now volunteers take out the collected materials. On the first day, more than 2.6 tons were collected. This was told by the head of Kislovodsk Yevgeny Moiseev.

According to him, the action combines several useful things at once: both children and adults get used to handing over paper for recycling instead of throwing it away, and learn to take care of the environment. There is also a second important goal - to support fighters: all funds from the delivery of waste paper will go to the Kislovodsk Za Ourkh fund.

On the first day, 2,148 kilograms of paper and 466 kilograms of cardboard were collected. During the week, volunteers will collect the remains of waste paper from the remaining organizations.

The mayor thanked the institutions and volunteers for their involvement. The action has a competitive component: the institution with the largest volume of collected will receive valuable prizes. The winners will be announced on December 5, Volunteer Day. But, Evgeny Moiseyev stressed, there are no losers here - each participant helps the city stay clean and supports the fighters.
