Pupils of school №2 offer to produce paper from reed. The project «Revival» was held in the half-final of the contest «Social Weekend»

Ecological project “Revival” at Secondary School No. 2 was held in the ¼ final of the Social Weekend competition for social projects. The idea of the project is to use dry vegetation for the benefit of man and the preservation of nature, which, note, is rarely combined in the modern world.

The project will solve several problems:

  • reduce deforestation due to the use in the production of paper is not wood, and cane;
  • ensure the employment of people of retirement age, thus providing them with the possibility of additional income;
  • use eco-technology in the construction of energy-efficient homes.

What is the relevance of the project for our area? In Zelvenshchyna there are the Medukhovo biological reserve, forest lakes, the Zelvianka river and the Zelva reservoir, which require cleaning from reed beds. Harvesting reeds along the banks of rivers and lakes will enliven their beauty. In addition, it will enable the residents of the village to have an additional source of income, to organize the joint outdoor pastime of senior citizens. The project also promotes energy saving ideas through the use of reeds for green building, paper production from dry vegetation, participation in environmental campaigns.

What has been done? Made albums, eco-packs, cups for seedlings and other necessary household items from cane and dry grass. Pupils of secondary school №2 shared their experience at the republican ecological competition of ideas “The Nature of a Small Motherland”, were awarded a diploma of the second degree and a certificate from the UNDP in Belarus for an excursion to Nalibokskaya Pushcha. The work was published in the republican journal «Native Nature».

By combining our efforts, energy, activity and finances to save nature, we will do our best to preserve the nature of our native land, by teaching the younger generation to take responsibility for what surrounds them. People who are not indifferent to improving life in their own country can find a list of projects for voting on the socialweekend.by/13 website.
