Russian Cities Compete to Recycle Waste Paper and Save Forests
Krasnodar Krai, a region in southern Russia, is hosting a unique competition among its cities and districts. The 'Recycling Marathon: Donate Waste Paper, Save a Tree' campaign aims to raise awareness about resource conservation and waste recycling. It runs until November 28, with applications submitted online.
Eligible participants range from educational institutions and businesses to public organizations and companies. To take part, they must collect over 300 kg of waste paper. Accepted materials include newspapers, magazines, office paper, and books with no literary value. Corrugated cardboard is not accepted due to its low density.
The campaign is supported by Krasnodar Krai’s Ministry of Natural Resources and the regional Ministry of Education. Additionally, the crowdfunding initiative 'Give a Tree' backs the event. Participants will be ranked based on their recycling efforts, with the results compiled into a 'green' ranking of cities.
By the end of November 28, participating cities will have contributed to waste paper recycling and earned a spot on the 'green' ranking. This initiative not only promotes recycling but also aligns with the nationwide 'Save the Forest' campaign, as Krasnodar Krai plants trees alongside the recycling efforts.
