The Faculty of Energy Engineering and the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Jizzakh Polytechnic Institute cleaned the territory of the Orda Ecological Park in the city of Jizzakh from various waste as part of the “Plogging” project. The event was attended by B. Mamatkulov, Deputy Dean for Youth Affairs and Spiritual and Educational Affairs of the Faculty of Energy Engineering, faculty tutors, young students, and as a guest, J. Saidov, Deputy Dean for Youth Affairs and Spiritual and Educational Affairs of the Faculty of Civil Engineering. The main goal of holding this event is to change the general public's attitude towards waste and thereby reduce waste generation, form understanding of recycling, promote sustainable consumption and production models, and support the transition to a circular economy. Zero-waste initiatives help to properly manage them, minimize and prevent waste generation, eliminate the ecological crisis, protect the environment, and improve human health and well-being. The waste collected by the participants who actively participated in the event was collected in special containers. The main goal of plogging is: ▪️ Cleansing the environment from waste. ▪️ Promoting a healthy lifestyle. ▪️ Increasing community cooperation and environmental awareness. How is plogging done? ✅ Carry a small bag or package with you when you go for a run or walk. ✅ Collect plastic bottles, paper, or other waste that you see along the way. ✅ You hand over the collected waste to special containers or recycling centers. Benefits of Plogging: 🔹 For health: more muscles work than regular running, because bending and stretching movements increase. 🔹 For nature: waste is reduced, the city and nature are cleaned. 🔹 For society: people unite and do useful work together, social solidarity is strengthened. Why is Plogging important today? Today, the problem of waste is gaining serious global importance. Every small action is our contribution to big changes. And Plogging allows us not only to strengthen our own health, but also to create a clean and green environment for future generations. In short, Plogging is a combination of a healthy lifestyle with love for the environment. Let's start with ourselves: let's run, clean up nature and be an example for others!
