Another city-wide cleanup was organized in Shymkent as part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" republican environmental campaign. The main goal of this event is not only to maintain the cleanliness of the city, but also to form an ecological culture among residents and increase responsibility for the environment.

Today, environmental issues are relevant in all corners of the world. Especially in large megacities like Shymkent, with more than a million inhabitants, the issue of cleanliness is not on the agenda. Therefore, it is not by chance that such Saturdays are held. They are not just a one-time event, but a real tool for mobilizing city residents to protect nature.

The peculiarity of the Sabbath is that workers from different industries, students, and city residents work together. On the one hand, this solves an environmental problem, and on the other hand, it has a social significance, as representatives of different generations unite around a common cause.

This time, employees of departments and institutions under the city administration showed great activity. Each team was assigned a specific territory in advance and a work schedule was drawn up. As a result, the event was organized systematically.

During the weekend, participants cleaned streets, courtyards of multi-storey residential buildings, roadsides, and drainage systems from household waste. In some areas, irrigation canals were cleared of garbage and conditions were created for the free flow of running water. Cleaning work was also carried out in the outskirts of the city.

The mood of the participants was upbeat. Many consider participation in such an event to be a civic duty. Joint work on Saturday not only brings people closer together, but also allows them to feel a sense of shared responsibility.

During the campaign, the organizers reminded residents of simple but important rules: not to litter, to dispose of household waste in designated areas, and to contribute to maintaining cleanliness in the yards.

The slogan "The cleanliness of the city is in our hands" became the main idea of this Saturday. Because no matter how beautifully the city is decorated and the roads are repaired, if residents litter and treat it carelessly, all that work will not bear fruit.

The Sabbiliks are not limited to just collecting garbage. Their main task is to instill in people the importance of cleanliness. Ecological culture means taking care of the environment, treating the city as your own home.

Nowadays, environmental lessons, drawing competitions, and environmental projects are often held in schools and colleges in Shymkent. Forming young people's attitudes towards nature protection is an important step for the future.

Another aspect of the Sembilik is the strengthening of ties in society. When government officials and ordinary citizens, entrepreneurs and students work together in the same space, they are united by a common goal. This is a unique opportunity to develop informal relationships and bring people closer together.

Many people also call such events "social team building." Seeing the results of joint work with their own eyes encourages people and increases their love for their environment and city.

Holding Sabbath cleans has become a tradition in Shymkent. Previously, such events were mandatory, but today most residents participate voluntarily. Because everyone understands that the cleanliness of the city primarily affects their quality of life.

A person who participates in cleaning up the area will then try to protect it from garbage. This instills in the person a sense of "appreciation for their work." In this sense, Shabbat also has a great educational value.

According to the organizers, such events will continue regularly in the future. The city plans to develop a waste sorting system, hold tree planting campaigns, and green up courtyards.

The goal is to make the Sabbath a permanent tradition, not a temporary event. If every resident contributes to nature conservation, the city will undoubtedly become a more environmentally friendly place.

The next city-wide Saturday, held as part of the "Clean Kazakhstan" campaign, once again proved the unity of Shymkent residents and their responsibility for a common cause.

Cleanliness is not just about well-groomed streets and tidy yards. It is the respect of each person for themselves and future generations. If each of us understands this with our hearts, Shymkent will become a truly modern city, environmentally friendly and comfortable for living.
