In order to increase environmental culture, strengthen environmental responsibility among residents and clean up the city, another city-wide cleaning campaign “Clean Thursday” was held in Shymkent. This traditional event, remaining part of systematic work aimed at improving the environment, is considered one of the most effective initiatives implemented with the participation of city residents. This campaign, which took place on November 20, 2025, was attended by employees of the city and district branches of the party, activists of the “Zhastar Ruhy” youth wing, and municipal workers. This event was organized in the Abay district, and a total of more than 50 people were involved.

The cleanliness and environmental situation of Shymkent are important issues for the city administration and society. In recent years, the pace of urbanization in the metropolis has been accelerating, and the population is growing. It is known that along with the growth and prosperity of the city, the infrastructure has also expanded, and the volume of household waste has increased. In such a situation, holding regular cleaning campaigns is one of the most effective ways to preserve the natural environment and improve the quality of the environment. The “Clean Thursday” event plays a special role in achieving this goal.

This time, the participants of the campaign carried out work aimed at cleaning several streets, public places, pedestrian paths and yards of the Abay district. Volunteers and representatives of municipal services collected scattered garbage, put the accumulated waste in special bags and delivered it to the appropriate places. In addition, weeds that had grown wild were mowed and green areas were cared for. Bushes and trees were put in order, and sanitary pruning was carried out in order to create favorable conditions for their growth. These actions not only improve the aesthetic appearance, but also have a positive effect on the health of plants.

During the cleaning work, special attention was paid to the green areas of the city. This is because the condition of green belts directly affects the overall ecological level of the environment. Timely care for trees and shrubs helps to improve air quality, stabilize the microclimate, and create a comfortable and pleasant environment for city residents. This work, carried out jointly by volunteers, is an important sign of society's commitment to preserving the city's nature.

The "Clean Thursday" campaign was not limited to cleaning activities, but also continued with educational activities aimed at creating an ecological culture. The participants of the campaign discussed the environmental hazards posed by environmental pollution, the importance of proper sorting of household waste, and the need to protect green spaces, and exchanged experiences. Such events contribute to increasing environmental literacy among young people. In particular, activists from the "Zhastar Ruhi" organization were particularly active in explaining to their peers the importance of maintaining cleanliness.

The main goal of the event is not only to improve the appearance of the city, but also to mobilize residents for a common cause, increasing environmental responsibility. In a society with a culture of cleanliness, environmental pollution is reduced, and environmental protection activities are increased. In this regard, the "Clean Thursday" campaign is of great importance.

During the campaign, the participants not only improved the sanitary condition of the territory, but also contributed to the beautification of the city. As a result of these works, a number of streets and territories of the Abay district were significantly cleaned and left an impression of renewal. The joint work of caring citizens was a real manifestation of the creation of a harmonious environment.

Also, the party branch employees and youth wing representatives who participated in the action called on the city residents to protect nature and keep the environment clean. They noted that if everyone starts from their own yard and street, the city's ecology will improve. Encouraging residents to actively participate in such events is an important part of increasing the environmental culture of society.

The peculiarity of this campaign is its regular organization. Every Thursday, such events are held in the city, and cleaning work is carried out systematically in each district of the city. Such stability allows us to maintain and constantly improve the quality of the environment. In addition, according to the organizers, the number of participants in the campaign is increasing every year. This indicates the growing interest of residents in environmental issues.

The "Clean Thursday" campaign has become an important platform for the formation of an ecological culture. Every citizen who participated in this event showed that he is an active member of society, contributing to environmental protection. Such initiatives will undoubtedly continue in the future and become an integral part of city life.

In conclusion, the “Clean Thursday” cleaning campaign held in Shymkent on November 20 was not only a cleaning event, but also an important event that formed an ecological culture and increased social solidarity. As a result of the joint efforts of party representatives, activists of youth organizations, and utility workers, the territory of Abay district was cleaned, creating a renewed, clean environment for residents. It is clear that such environmental initiatives will continue in the future and will give impetus to improving the ecology of the city.
