The active implementation of the republican environmental program "Taza Kazakhstan", initiated by the President of the country K.-Zh. Tokayev in April 2024, continues. The main goal of the initiative is to create an ecological culture, raise awareness among citizens and improve the state of the environment in the regions.

On July 14, 2025, large-scale environmental events were held in two settlements in Kostanay region as part of the Taza Kazakhstan program.

In the village of Karabalyk, Karabalyk district, an action was held to clean the banks of the Toguzak River, organized by the State Institution "Youth Resource Center of the Department of Internal Policy of the Akimat of Karabalyk district". The event was attended by about 50 people, including youth activists, volunteers and local residents.

The main goal of the campaign was not only to restore sanitary order in the coastal area, but also to educate young people to respect nature and develop habits of environmentally responsible behavior. There is already a good tradition in the village of Karabalyk to hold regular clean-up days, plant trees and improve the territory, involving schoolchildren, students and all concerned residents in this process. The participants of the action emphasized that taking care of cleanliness is taking care of health, and every citizen can contribute to the common cause.

— A clean environment is the key to health and high physical activity. We must set an example of caring for nature," the organizers of the action noted. They also appealed to the residents of the district and the whole country to actively participate in environmental events and initiatives, because "Taza Kazakhstan" is a manifestation of genuine patriotism.

On the same day, on July 14, a large-scale urban environmental campaign was held in the city of Arkalyk as part of the implementation of the republican program "Taza Kazakhstan". The event was attended by residents of the city, employees of public utilities, volunteers and fighters of "Zhasyl El".

During the campaign, work was carried out on cleaning the territories of apartment and private houses, whitewashing trees, and mowing grass. Special attention was paid to the cleaning of squares, alleys, parks and coastal areas of reservoirs. A significant part of the work was carried out by the forces of Zhasyl El, which became a vivid example of how young people can effectively participate in improving the urban environment.

The environmental events held in the Karabalyk district and the city of Arkalyk have become another proof that residents of Kostanay region are actively involved in the implementation of the Taza Kazakhstan initiative, making a tangible contribution to improving the environmental situation in their settlements.

— Today's actions are not just garbage collection, it is a demonstration of the unity of society in striving for a clean future. Only through joint efforts will we be able to preserve nature for future generations," the participants noted.

The Taza Kazakhstan program continues to unite the efforts of the state, business, public organizations and citizens themselves, forming an ecologically responsible society and strengthening the region through caring for nature.
