S. Toraighyrov Pavlodar State University held a traditional clean-up event under the Clean City campaign. It included trash removal, greenery planting and general improvement of the University territory.

All members of S. Toraighyrov Pavlodar State University, including the administration, faculty, staff members and students, took an active part in this event.

It has already become a tradition for the University to hold such events thus promoting cleanliness and order, as well as teaching students to care for the environment.

“A real problem lies in people's attitude towards the environment. It's like we have already developed a bad habit and there's nothing we can do to change that. But if we regard the world around us as our personal dustbin, then the consequences of such irresponsible behavior may be terrifying,” says Yuliya Tarasova, an undergraduate student of the Faculty of Chemical Technology and Natural Sciences.

The clean-up event covered the total area of 9.5 hectares. Nearly 2,000 bin bags were filled and removed from the University territory.
