New Acropolis organized for boys from the Harlem football club an environmental game called “Defenders of the Earth” (Yekaterinburg, Russia)

Ecological Volunteering

We are convinced that by being united we can cope with environmental problems and pollution. By cleaning up the litter in our city we help the whole Earth. Besides, we found out that nobody wants to harm nature, this happens due to the ignorance, inattentiveness and sometimes because of the lack of information concerning what things can be handed over or thrown away and where we can do it.

The game helped teenagers to be more interested in learning new things and showing their strong sides. The boys were divided into teams, and at the first stage they picked up 500 kg of garbage, as well as 80 kg of glass and 20 kg of plastic bottles, which can be recycled.

At the next stages the children got acquainted with the birds and trees of our city, found out how to orientate in the area and practiced the correct waste separation.

It should also be noted that at the beginning of the game everyone was on his or her own way, but at the end of the event they became a single team that could make one of the city district cleaner and more beautiful. And that is an another step in constructing the future in which people will be able to be united and treat their home, planet Earth, more carefully.
