On Tuesday, October 17, the All-Russian campaign for collecting waste paper “Boombattle” was held at the main building of Voronezh State University. A “green” van from the public not-for-profit organisation REO was located in the centre of the university square.
The arrival of eco-guests took place owing to the regional branch of the All-Russian environmental public movement “Ecosystem”, which operates in the Voronezh region on the basis of the Volunteer Centre of VSU “Gravity”. Thanks to the active work of environmental volunteers the “green” van visited Voronezh State University.
A bicycle shredder was placed near the van. Everyone could personally participate in the recycling process: grind caps into crumbs, which could be melted down to obtain various items, for example, medals or key rings. Also, as part of the event, the participants of the action were shown a film dedicated to the process of recycling recyclable materials in Russia.
The all-Russian campaign for collecting waste paper “Boombattle” will last in Voronezh until November 15. The “green” van with eco-volunteers will visit other cities of Russia that as many schoolchildren and students as possible can join the culture of conscious consumption.
