UaAnimals eco-activists plan to hold regular charity cleanup events in Ukrainian cities in the future

The charity organization UaAnimals is calling on socially responsible businesses to join the Cleanup March, which is scheduled for September 21.

This was announced by the charity organization UaAnimals in a telegram.

UaAnimals is once again organizing a Cleanup March, in which concerned citizens take to the streets, parks, and playgrounds to make their surroundings cleaner. The key goal of the event is to clean public spaces of plastic.

This time, they plan to involve not only volunteers in the charity event, but also call on businesses and companies that care about the environment to join in.

"As much as we would like to, we cannot currently remove all the ‘rubbish’ from the frontline areas. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are working on this. But together, we can make our rear several tons cleaner of plastic and all other kinds of waste," said the organizers of the Cleanup March.

This time, the organization plans to clean up Khmelnytskyi, Odesa, Ivano-Frankivsk, Kyiv, and Zaporizhzhia regions. In these cities, UaAnimals will gather groups of people willing to help overcome the waste crisis.

But representatives of UaAnimals also urge people not to stand aside if there are no organized groups in their locality, but to gather their friends and acquaintances and join the large-scale Cleanup March in their city or village.

“After all, team building is good, but getting together to clean up the environment is fun, responsible, and saves the cuckoo!” said representatives of UaAnimals.

You can join the Cleanup March through the official UaAnimals Telegram bot on Telegram.

During its activity, the charity organization UaAnimals has managed to ban circuses with animals in three dozen cities, negotiate the rejection of natural fur with dozens of designers, and achieve the adoption of several important animal protection laws.

With the start of full-scale war, their efforts have focused on rescuing animals from the combat zone. The organization also regularly conducts garbage cleanup campaigns, in particular, directing its efforts toward reducing pollution from household plastics.

As EcoPolitics wrote earlier, UAnimals volunteers shared how they are helping to rescue animals in the Kharkiv region. They managed to:

1) Purchase and deliver 200 doses of rabies vaccine.

2) Prepare 19 carriers for animals for the Kharkiv animal rescue group.

3) Purchase a ton of feed and send it to residents of the Kharkiv region upon request.

4) Distribute food to local residents during evacuation flights (about a ton in total).

5) Make three evacuation flights and transport a total of 170 animals! They promised to go again. They sterilized 53 animals in Kupiansk and Pokotylivka.
