«CLEAN KAZAKHSTAN: STUDENT ECO-HUBOPENED AT SATBAYEV UNIVERSITY The production uses ecological energy: students train on exercise bikes and generate energy for shredders that grind plastic.

The author of the project, Yevgeny Mukhamedzhanov, noted that the culture of caring for nature is an invisible process, but it can be felt. He also said that students can be the driving force of environmental change in society. The plan is to open eco-hubs in other higher education institutions of the city.

- We plan to open a training center, a real eco-hub, - said Yevgeny Mukhamedzhanov. - This will allow anyone who studies at the university or lives nearby to bring household waste and participate in its recycling.

For this purpose, the center has created the "Green University" program, within the framework of which master classes will be held, which will talk about the problem of greenwashing. In the future, it is planned to combine all the developments and create an eco-track that will travel around the city.

The project will be an important step in the development of environmental culture and continues to expand its capabilities, attracting other universities to apply for participation in the program.
