Caring about the environment

Today, an event dedicated to Ecologist Day and Environment Protection Day (5 June) was held at the Kostanay Engineering and Economics University. The event was part of the national campaign "Clean Kazakhstan".

The guest of the meeting was Vyacheslav Pichugin, an ecologist from the Kazakhstan Environmental Service. He told students about the activities of the environmental service, current environmental problems and the importance of developing environmental awareness among the younger generation.

The meeting ended with the planting of petunias in the university courtyard. These flowers were grown by students of the Department of Standardisation and Food Technology themselves since spring, contributing their labour to the improvement and greening of the territory.

Students from different faculties took part in the event, as environmental issues are relevant to everyone, regardless of their chosen specialisation. The main goal is to instil in students a conscious and caring attitude towards nature and the environment.
