In accordance with the initiative of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the country is systematically implementing measures to develop environmental awareness and protect the environment. These measures are aimed at fostering public responsibility for the environment and engaging various sectors of society in environmental initiatives. One striking example of such events was the national Road Relay Race, organized by the Zhastar Ruhy Youth Wing of the AMANAT Party as part of the nationwide "Taza Qazaqstan" campaign. The relay received support from the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources, underscoring the significance and scale of this project.

The relay started on September 30 in Almaty and covered approximately 800 kilometers through the Zhambyl region to Shymkent. Along the route, numerous cleanup and landscaping events were organized, as well as meetings with the public to explain the importance of proper waste disposal and environmental stewardship. Over the first three days, more than 600 activists participated, and over 90 tons of waste were collected. This clearly demonstrates the high level of environmental activism among the population and the willingness of young people to actively participate in improving the environmental situation.

A unique feature of the relay was that it wasn't limited to just garbage collection. The organizers held public receptions and meetings with citizens, where participants could freely exchange views on environmental issues and solutions. Furthermore, the relay participants stopped at historical and cultural sites to simultaneously improve them. For example, the grounds of the Aktyrtas complex and the Sauran Fortress were cleaned and tidied up, which not only improved the environmental situation but also preserved their cultural heritage.

Upon arrival in Shymkent, the relay was greeted with great enthusiasm by local youth. Students and volunteers actively participated in cleaning the area, planting flowers, and sorting trash. Additionally, special environmental activities were organized for young people as part of the relay. For example, the "Recycle Your Trash - Get a Gift" campaign helped promote the culture of separate collection and recycling of household waste. This initiative helped foster environmental responsibility and skills in young people to care for the environment.

The eco-activities included eco-quizzes and workshops on making crafts from recycled materials. Participants were divided into groups and learned the proper methods for sorting plastic, paper, and other waste, as well as how to recycle them effectively. These activities allowed them to practice their acquired knowledge and developed skills in the rational and careful use of resources.

A flower planting workshop was also held. Gardeners Dasik_begonia and Gulhome.Store2 participated, demonstrating the proper planting and care techniques. Students and volunteers were able to practice improving the landscape of their yards and public spaces, while strengthening their commitment to ecology and a sense of responsibility for the environment.

The relay allowed each participant to understand the importance of their role in environmental conservation. The events emphasized the need for proper waste management, separate collection and recycling of materials, and maintaining clean urban areas. Participants had the opportunity to discuss environmental issues with the organizers and receive practical advice on improving the environment.

Overall, the national Road Relay, which started in Almaty and ended in Shymkent, allowed for a number of events to be held across the country. Meetings with residents were held at each section of the route, explaining the importance of environmental protection and fostering environmental awareness. The participation of residents and activists contributed to improving the environmental situation and raising public awareness of environmental conservation.

Upon arrival in Shymkent, the relay continued its work in collaboration with the city's student and youth organizations. Young people actively participated in planting flowers, cleaning the area, and sorting waste. Environmental quizzes, recycling workshops, and training sessions on proper waste sorting and disposal were held. These events helped reinforce practical skills in environmentally friendly behavior and instilled a sense of responsibility for the environment.

The relay's main goal was to foster environmental awareness among young people and city residents, instill a habit of caring for the cleanliness and well-being of urban areas, and engage the public in joint environmental protection efforts. During the events, participants gained knowledge and practical skills that will serve as the foundation for future conservation efforts and fostering a responsible attitude toward the environment in society.

The relay race from Almaty to Shymkent demonstrated how the joint efforts of the government, youth organizations, and the public can effectively address environmental issues. The active participation of students, volunteers, and local residents significantly improved the environmental situation, increased environmental awareness, and fostered practical skills for sustainable behavior in urban settings.

The experience of this relay race will also be useful for future environmental events aimed at fostering responsibility among young people and engaging the public in joint efforts to improve the environment. The participation of the AMANAT party's youth wing, "Zhastar Ruhi," demonstrated that youth initiative is crucial in fostering a culture of respect for nature and sustainable urban development.

The relay demonstrated that through the joint efforts of various organizations, students, and city residents, it is possible to significantly improve the environmental status of the area, foster a responsible attitude toward nature, and increase environmental awareness among the population. Initiatives such as the "Taza Qazaqstan" Road Relay exemplify the successful implementation of state environmental policy and the promotion of environmentally responsible attitudes among young people.
