On October 6th 2023, EKTU environmental clubs held a clean-up day dedicated to the republican project "3,2,1, start!". The project is aimed at supporting youth initiatives to collect and properly sort plastic. Completing season of clean-up day this year, the guys went out to clean up on the shore of the Irtysh River near the university. A lot of people are resting in this beautiful place all summer. Unfortunately, a lot of garbage remains on the shore and adjacent territories.

The students did a great job and in just an hour collected 1.5 big bags of plastic only: bottles, cups, containers. At the end of the clean-up day, the guys staged a competition on the shore to launch "pancakes" on the water to show that you can have fun without leaving mountains of garbage behind.
