On October 3, 2025, the traditional environmental campaign "Clean Thursday" continued in Shymkent's Karatau district. The event was attended by Yerbol Baikonysov, Deputy Executive Secretary of the city branch of the AMANAT party, employees of the city and district party organizations, youth, volunteers, and utility service specialists. All participants joined forces to contribute to the improvement and cleanup of the district and make the urban environment more comfortable and safe for residents.

The campaign included cleaning city streets, sports grounds, and public spaces. Participants collected trash, cleared green areas, and landscaped sidewalks and pedestrian areas. Special waste collection tools and containers were used for ease of use. Young people and volunteers actively participated not only in the cleanup but also in outreach efforts aimed at raising environmental awareness among residents and fostering a responsible attitude toward nature.

The main goal of the campaign is to improve the city's environmental situation, increase public responsibility for environmental conservation, and foster environmental awareness among citizens through collaborative activities. By participating in such events, young people not only learn to care for nature but also make a significant contribution to creating a clean, well-maintained urban environment.

Since the beginning of the year, 39 "Clean Thursday" events have been held in Shymkent, during which over 37 tons of household waste were collected and removed. These figures demonstrate the city's growing environmental responsibility and active participation in improving the urban environment. Such events are held regularly in every district of the city, helping to maintain cleanliness and order in public spaces.

During the campaign, special attention was paid not only to cleaning the area but also to fostering environmental awareness among residents. Volunteers and participants explained waste sorting rules, recycling methods, and the need to prevent environmental pollution. Special educational sessions were organized for children and teenagers, aimed at developing an interest in environmental protection and fostering environmental stewardship skills.

The AMANAT party plans to continue holding this campaign on a regular basis. Party representatives urge residents and visitors to actively participate in the city's cleanliness efforts, emphasizing that environmental responsibility is everyone's responsibility. They also noted that the cleanliness and well-being of public spaces depends not only on government services but also on the commitment of each resident.

During the campaign, special attention was paid to the improvement of public spaces. Sidewalks, playgrounds, sports fields, parks, and squares were cleared. All trash containers were checked for proper operation, and new ones were installed where necessary. Alongside the cleanup, landscaping work was carried out: trees and flowerbeds were planted, and existing green spaces were maintained. These activities enhance the city's aesthetic appearance and create comfortable recreational conditions for residents.

Participants shared their experiences and put forward proposals for further environmental improvement. They noted that public spaces should be kept clean not only during one-time events but on a regular basis. They also discussed the need to introduce environmental education programs in schools and universities to instill a culture of caring for nature in young people from an early age.

The city administration and the AMANAT party aim to foster a sense of responsibility for environmental conservation among the population through these events. Each event increases residents' motivation to maintain cleanliness and promotes environmental awareness. By participating in these events, young people gain practical experience in environmental protection and develop responsible behavioral skills.

In summary, the "Clean Thursday" event, which took place on October 3, 2025, in the Karatau district, was an important initiative aimed not only at cleaning and improving the area but also at fostering environmental awareness among residents, increasing their responsibility for nature, and engaging young people and volunteers in active environmental protection efforts. Since the beginning of the year, 39 events have been held, and over 37 tons of waste have been collected and removed—a clear demonstration of the city's ongoing environmental efforts.

In the future, the AMANAT party and the city administration plan to continue such campaigns, engage residents, increase environmental responsibility, and maintain cleanliness and order in the city. Cleaning streets and improving public spaces is the shared responsibility of every resident and visitor. Active participation in these initiatives helps foster environmentally friendly habits and makes the city a comfortable place for everyone to live and relax.

Thus, the "Clean Thursday" campaign in the Karatau district became not only a cleanup event, but also an effective tool for fostering environmental awareness and public responsibility aimed at long-term improvement of the environment and maintaining cleanliness and order in the city.
