Hand over waste paper - save a tree!
Under this motto in kindergarten No. 3 "Firefly" on February 02, 2017. there was an action - collection of waste paper, dedicated to the year of ecology in our country.
The purpose of the action is to draw the attention of teachers, pupils, their parents to the problem of careful, prudent attitude to such wealth as forest, which is an important natural resource in economic activity human, but an even more important resource in the preservation of ecology environment are the lungs of our planet.
The action was preceded big job teachers with children and parents. In the course of the work, the task was solved: to acquaint children with one of the ways to preserve the forest - the collection of waste paper, which everyone, even a preschooler, can do, and put it into practice with the involvement of the parents of the pupils.
The work of teachers with children was aimed at motivating the collection of waste paper. During organized educational activities carried out in the form of conversations, stories, observations, presentations, experiments and research work children learned about how and where paper comes from, in what areas it is used. Children also learned that a lot of necessary things can be made from recycled materials (waste paper) without cutting wood:
Various types of containers and packaging (cages and cassettes for eggs, various packing lists and gaskets for packaging food, household appliances, furniture and other consumer goods),
- disposable pots for seedlings and seed germination,
- paper towels, napkins, toilet paper,
The highest grade of waste paper is used to produce excellent office paper, paper for the printing industry, etc.
The action, in which we also added an element of competition (which group will save the most trees?), began earlier than the date of delivery of waste paper was scheduled. Parents and children began to bring waste paper, neatly folded, tied and weighed in advance, because each group wanted to be ahead. The result exceeded all our expectations. We planned to collect about 200 kilograms of waste paper, but we collected 643 kilograms!
Group No. 3 "Romashka" took the first place, having collected 205 kg. waste paper, in second place - group No. 7 "Cornflower" - 121 kg, in third place - group No. 4 "Forget-Me-Not" - 116 kg. Other groups also made their significant contribution. Prizes await the winners!
We are confident that the action carried out marked the beginning of the formation ecological culture our pupils and their parents and we plan to continue working in this direction. I would like to believe that the new generation will grow up more environmentally literate and separate waste collection will be the norm of everyday life for them.
The baton of the action "Hand over the waste paper - save the tree!" we transfer to kindergarten No. 4 "Kid".

Have you ever wondered how much "unnecessary" paper we throw away just like that? Pay attention to how much paper we throw into the trash can every day: it's not only read newspapers and magazines, but also paper spam that falls into our mailboxes, and store checks, packages and wrappers, as well as medicine boxes and much, much more. Luckily, paper is biodegradable. That is, once in a landfill, it will simply disappear over time without a trace and will not cause any harm to the environment, unlike, for example, batteries. |
In the last couple of decades, the inhabitants of not only Russia, but the whole world, have been too irrationally disposed of natural resources, and if you do not change your attitude towards nature, then an ecological catastrophe is almost inevitable.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PRESERVING TREES AND GREEN PLANTINGS FOR ECOLOGY
To prevent an undesirable outcome, as well as to save green spaces, there is a campaign in Russia to collect waste paper, which applies to every inhabitant. Its essence is to:
- convince people to take care of natural materials and resources, including paper;
- do not throw it in the trash, but carry out regular collection and delivery to the appropriate services;
- engage in processing and production from recycled materials;
- reduce tree cutting
Here are some facts about waste paper:
- 60 kilograms of waste paper is 1 saved tree;
- each Russian has about 25 kilograms of paper products per year, that is, each average family can save at least one tree per year;
- waste paper accounts for approximately 40% of all solid waste by weight;
- The area of forests on the planet is constantly declining, so the lack of trees will become a tangible problem in the very near future.
And if your hand trembled at least once when you sent a pile of papers to the trash can, then you in step from the beginning of a new life in which you will begin to hand over waste paper.
Get a box at home in which you will put all the waste paper: these are not only newspapers, but also glossy magazines, and unnecessary papers, and not the most successful children's drawings, and medicine boxes. Even if this paper is torn, crumpled, has an irregular shape - no one will force you to carefully fold it and pull it with twine, as was the case at the pioneer collections of waste paper.
It is necessary to instill in children the right eco-habits from childhood. Tell us what paper is made of and why trees should be protected. After all, we all want us and our children to grow up on a GREEN PLANET.
By collecting waste paper, YOU save trees and clean our city from garbage!
Feel free to join our environmental action!
Together we can improve the environment and make our city cleaner!!!
March 25 at 20-30 on Tverskaya Square in Moscow for the eighth time will be held the annual environmental action "Earth Hour"!
Purpose of the action– to remind people of the need for a careful and responsible attitude towards the environment.
In solidarity with these goals Department of nature management and environmental protection of the city of Moscow and project "Paper BOOM" invite educational institutions take part in the charity competition for the collection of waste paper "Paper BOOM-Earth Hour"!
Donate your waste paper and contribute to the conservation of forests as a sign of indifference to the future of our planet! 1 ton of old paper sent for recycling saves up to 17 trees, saves 14,000 liters of clean water and 1,000 kWh of electricity.
In addition, the proceeds from the delivery of waste paper as part of the action will be directed to support the WWF program (World wildlife) "Save your forest" (http://60.wwf.ru/save-forest/).
All participants will receive WWF certificates of appreciation and certificates of the Paper BOOM project.
3 winners will be additionally awarded with valuable eco-prizes. Among the prizes: a portable solar battery, outdoor environmental games on the topic of resource saving and waste recycling, tree planting certificates, etc.
The awards ceremony will take place on March 25 as part of the city's official holiday program dedicated to Earth Hour. Taking into account that 2017 has been declared the year of ecology and specially protected natural areas, all participants of the festive program will have a musical program, contests and prizes.
This year the action will take place not only in Moscow, but also in other cities where the action "Paper BOOM" takes place!

With the results of the action "Paper BOOM-Earth Hour" in 2016 you can find it here: site/summed up-of-the-waste-paper-collection-within-the-promotions-of-the-earth-hour
The results of the workWWFunder the Save Your Forest program in 2016:
1. Over the past six months, WWF has concluded 4 new moratorium agreements with timber companies, providing for the voluntary refusal of companies to harvest in intact forest areas (ILT). As a result, 231 thousand ha of IFLs were excluded from felling. In total, agreements are currently in force that protect more than 2 million hectares of IFL from logging.
2. Created secured territory NP Onega Pomorye in the Arkhangelsk region, at the same time they were withdrawn from the felling of the MLT.
3. Thanks to an active campaign in the press against the new Timber Harvesting Rules, significant changes have been made to them aimed at maintaining the ban on felling cedar trees, including in the MLT.
4. On December 21, 2016, a protocol was signed between WWF, Greenpeace and the Titan group of companies, providing for the consent of these companies to the creation of a large protected area in the Arkhangelsk region, providing for the preservation of the last large massif of IFL in Europe in the interfluve of the river. Dvina and r. Pinega in the Arkhangelsk region.
5. Held a big scientific work on the development and testing of methods for identifying the most valuable IFL sites in Siberia and the Far East, in order to ensure their conservation later.
These results became possible, among other things, thanks to our contribution following the results of the “Paper BOOM-Earth Hour” action!

Today, the problem of the environment in Russia and around the world is particularly acute. And in order to save the planet for future descendants, it is necessary for every person to learn to protect nature from an early age.
In April of this year, in the preparatory group, under my leadership, an environmental action was launched to collect waste paper "Hand over waste paper - save the tree!", The purpose of which was to form an active position of children in the field of environmental protection
This choice of topic - the collection of waste paper - is not accidental. Paper is one of the main components of waste in every apartment and, of course, in an office or school. One resident, on average, throws away up to 150 kg of paper per year. And to get 1 ton of paper, about 10 trees and 20,000 liters of water are consumed. By handing over waste paper for recycling, you can not only reduce the size of landfills, but also significantly save natural resources and reduce water pollution.
The action was carried out in the form of competitive competition. With great enthusiasm, the parents of the pupils took part in it, bringing old newspapers, magazines, books, cardboard packaging. Removal, weighing and delivery of waste paper to the collection point for recycling is planned to be carried out in November this year.
Within the framework of the project, many interesting events were held together with all project participants.
Activities with children
1. Practical lesson "Trees on our site", in which the children replenished their knowledge about the trees growing on the territory kindergarten; worked with herbariums, determined from which tree a leaf; competed in teams, answering tasks and quiz questions.
2. As part of direct educational activities, practical classes were held on children's experimentation "Properties of paper and cardboard." In the classroom, the children got acquainted with the history of the appearance of paper, with different types paper and cardboard. In the course of an independent study of the properties of paper and cardboard, the children came to the conclusion that paper and cardboard products require careful handling.
3. Viewing the presentation “Production of paper and cardboard. Waste paper recycling. As a result, children have expanded their knowledge about the process of production and processing of paper from waste paper.
4. Within the framework of direct educational activities, a practical lesson "Papermaking in a kindergarten" was held.
Activities with parents
1. Children together with their parents took part in a poster contest on the theme "Protect the forest!" and the competition of crafts from waste material "Second Life of Paper and Cardboard". It should be noted the active participation and creative approach of the families of the group.
3. A collection of waste paper was organized under the slogan "We collect waste paper - we save trees!" ..
Practical work
"Paper has a second life"
Target : Get paper in a kindergarten from used landscape and scribbled notebook sheets.
To get paper at home from paper waste, the following technique was applied.
1. Tear the paper into small pieces (no more than 2x2 cm) and place them in a basin. Pour water into a basin and leave for a while until the paper softens.
2. To break up the paper fibers, mix everything well with a blender until the consistency of slurry.
3. Place a window net on the tray.
4. Put the resulting mass on the grid and level with a spatula.
5. Remove excess moisture with a foam sponge, dry until completely dry.
The first experiment was carried out with old newspapers. The result is gray paper.
In order to get colored paper, we add gouache to the paper pulp. You can get colored paper from colored paper napkins. When processed, they became much denser. Colored paper received.
Project result
Expansion of preschoolers' ideas about the forest as an interconnected system of living organisms; about the importance and influence of the forest in nature and human life;
Activation of cognitive and research activities of children
Interaction of parents and children in creative experimental activity.
As a result of the work done, the children studied the history of the emergence of paper, got acquainted with the technology of paper production at a pulp and paper mill.
After studying various sources, we tested one of the methods for making paper in a kindergarten. Using old albums and scribbled notebook sheets, colored paper napkins, we managed to get paper of different quality, different colors.
Thus, the children got acquainted with the manufacture of paper in a kindergarten.
As a result of a sociological survey conducted among the parents of our preschool educational institution, it turned out that most families are aware of the need for a personal contribution to the preservation of forest resources and are ready to take an active part in the collection and delivery of waste paper.
We thank all participants of the action for their activity, competitive spirit and sincere desire to make a practical contribution to the conservation of natural resources. Saving resources, we care, first of all, about the future of our planet!
In anticipation international day Recycling On November 15, the Association of Green Universities of Russia, with the support of the ECA Movement, launches an all-Russian action to collect waste paper in universities Recycle It!. Students are invited to organize the collection of waste paper in their educational institutions on the Days of United Action from November 12 to 18.
To participate in the promotion, student teams must:
1) register on the website of the Association of Green Universities in Russia and get detailed instructions on organizing the action, as well as an invitation to a special training webinar;
2) to organize in their universities mobile points for receiving recycled paper;
3) send the collected waste paper for recycling;
4) share the results of the campaign in social networks with the hashtag #recycleit2018.
In universities where the reception of waste paper on a permanent basis is already in place, the organizers propose to hold a holiday "Ecodvor" aimed at developing separate waste collection. It includes a mobile recycling center (paper, glass, metal, plastic) and activities aimed at involving participants in the practice of separate collection and reducing the amount of waste produced. Instructions for holding the holiday will also be sent to the participants of the action.
All organizers of the action will receive diplomas of participants in the all-Russian project, and the three teams that have handed over the largest amount of waste paper for recycling will be awarded useful eco-prizes from the ECA Movement.
Detailed information is available on the website of the Association of Green Universities in Russia.
“According to approximate calculations, for the entire period of study at the university, each student uses paper products, the production of which takes one adult tree. This means that about a million trees are cut down in Russia every year for textbooks, notebooks and printouts of 4 million students. The purpose of our campaign is to draw the attention of young people to this problem and inspire them to recycle waste paper. We hope that by taking part in our campaign, students will want to go further and implement the collection of recyclable materials in their universities on an ongoing basis,” says Andrey Rudnev, chairman of the Association of Green Universities in Russia.
The Association of “Green” Russian Universities is an all-Russian youth environmental association of universities that implement environmental practices and principles of sustainable development on their basis. To date, 46 Russian universities have joined the Association, including MGIMO, St. Petersburg State University, Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, National Research University Higher School of Economics and others. As part of the program, all-Russian student quests are held, in which more than 30 thousand students from 200 Russian universities took part. Currently, students can join the all-Russian eco-quests “Share with us” and “Forest mania”.
Remember the joke: "Each pioneer must hand over to the state 15 kg of waste paper and two pioneers who did not"? It originated in the second half of the 70s, when the collection of waste paper was introduced in the Soviet Union, which was mandatory for all schools - schoolchildren from the 3rd grade participated in this lesson. Applied practice and students, employees of enterprises, members of trade unions - almost all. Is anyone collecting old paper today, the RG correspondent asked, and found out a lot of interesting things.
Do you remember how it all started
Then, in the 70s, the collection of waste paper in the country began for two quite objective reasons. The areas of forest areas became smaller, the shortage of paper - more and more. So the authorities decided to put on stream the collection of recyclables. The task was first entrusted to the pioneers, as a result of which the school yards twice a year - in spring and autumn - began to turn into dumps of old books, scribbled notebooks, newspapers and other yellowed paper. The children were told that 20 kg of collected waste paper saved one tree from being cut down, schools were set plans - most often to collect two tons per season. Competitions were organized between classes and schools, thanks to which the collection of waste paper often turned into an exciting adventure for teenagers. In search of paper waste, schoolchildren first took out everything unnecessary from their own homes, then went to their neighbors.
In order to encourage adults to turn in waste paper, they came up with such a move - since 1974, for every 20 kg of recycled paper, they were given a coupon that could be exchanged for scarce books: novels by Alexander Dumas, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jack London and others. So by the end of the 70s, the return of waste paper reached 20% of the paper and cardboard produced by the industry. The country annually collected and handed over for processing 2 million tons of recycled paper.
Today - new dimensions
But what about today? Has the problem of deforestation gone somewhere? No, the problem remains, although there is no shortage of paper as such now - its production technologies have changed, borders have been opened for imports. But this does not mean that the recycling of used paper products has been abandoned, on the contrary, these days it is new trend. Saving nature comes to the fore: automakers are required to produce cars with environmentally friendly engines, oil refineries are required to produce fuel that emits a minimum of harmful substances during combustion.
About the same with waste paper. In European countries, more than half of the paper packaging, wrapping paper, boxes and other things are made from recycled materials. It is no coincidence that in the places of separate waste collection a separate container is allocated for paper - there are several dozen such points in Moscow, there are even special cars that come for garbage on schedule.
Many will certainly be surprised, but they actively participate in the collection of waste paper and educational establishments. For example, as part of the Earth Hour campaign in March, 100 tons of waste paper were collected and sent for recycling. "This is 1,500 saved trees! Recycling such a volume of waste paper will save 1.5 million liters of water and 100 thousand kWh of electricity," RG was told in the Paper BOOM environmental education project. This project, together with the Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection of Moscow, organizes such actions regularly. In March, 70 educational institutions were invited to participate, including schools, kindergartens and colleges.
The first place was taken by school N 2006 in the south-west of the capital - its students collected 7480 kg of waste paper. Schools that took second and third places collected 6818 and 5780 kg - such a scale would be envied even in Soviet times.
Paper is also money
With the proceeds from the collection of waste paper, ecologists do useful things. For example, they buy seedlings and tools for forestries and natural parks. The winning school teams receive gifts - from sweets for children to excursions to waste paper processing factories. 200 metropolitan schools, colleges and kindergartens have already joined the project. Together they collected 310 tons of waste paper last year. All collected waste paper was sent for recycling, in particular to a factory in the Tver region.
However, it is not only schools that collect paper waste - today it is a big business. Recycling enterprises in Moscow themselves pick up large quantities of waste paper and accept it from ordinary people. Prices vary in the range of 5-6 thousand rubles per ton, depending on the type of waste paper. For example, they promise up to 6,000 rubles per ton for cardboard, if you deliver it to the warehouse yourself. And if you want processors to take out recyclables on their own, then the price will drop to 5 thousand per ton. However, it is important to understand that different factors affect the price. The lower the percentage of moisture and impurities, the higher the cost. Even the type of waste paper packaging matters.
"Sorted, pressed waste paper, packed in bales weighing from 200 to 600 kg, is accepted at a higher price," they say at one of the processing enterprises. There are also brands of waste paper, there are more than a dozen of them, and other nuances.
Direct speech
Anton Kulbachevsky, Head of the Department of Nature Management and Environmental Protection of Moscow:
In order for the system of separate waste collection to work in full force in Moscow, it is necessary to solve two main tasks: firstly, to create a waste processing industry and, secondly, to instill in Muscovites the habit of separate collection of waste. Polls show that more than half of the residents of the capital are already ready for this. Now the task of the Moscow government is to create an infrastructure - both for separate collection and for waste processing. I think it will take 5 to 10 years for this system to work. But the main thing is to start. For example, since 2014 our department has been holding the Share and Use! - mobile waste collection points go around different addresses. The action is gradually gaining momentum, if in 2014 it was held only for a week, then in 2015 - already for a month and a half and on weekends. This was done taking into account the wishes of the residents. In total, 5,000 people took part in the action both in 2014 and 2015, but the amount of waste collected doubled last year and exceeded 4 tons. All waste was sent for recycling.
