This will help improve the environmental situation and teach children the importance of sorting garbage and recycling, reports Horokhivsk MTG.

"Thanks to these measures, future generations will have the opportunity to imitate ecologically conscious behavior and treat the surrounding world with care," the press service emphasized.

It is noted that the project is a continuation of the successful initiative "Don't burn, compost", which was carried out in educational institutions of the community.
