MUNRFE conducted the ecological project for the fifth time
On March 24-27, MUNRFE Vladivostok Club has joined the global environmental movement and conducted the ecological project in the Far Eastern Federal University (FEFU). FEFU has supported the event by switching off the non-essential lights in its main building for one hour.

On the first day of the project Ms. Tatyana Tonkikh, an expert of the volunteer movement “Separate collection” in Vladivostok and creator of eco-taxi – a service for garbage collection, delivered a lecture on why nature is our main ally in the fight against the climate crisis. The second day was devoted to a movie marathon and an eco-quiz. The third day was marked by a lecture from Mr. Arshak Makichyan, a well-known Russian eco-activist and a coordinator of the “FridaysForFuture” project - a global strike for climate action. Ms. Yulia Shelaputina, an eco-activist from Krasnoyarsk and curator of the “Eco Bomb” initiative that promotes planting trees in urban areas, shared with the participants information about how to embrace a zero-waste lifestyle.
