PROBLEM TO BE ADDRESSED

The environmental measures taken by the Interregional Non-Governmental Organization Clean Games and supported by the non-profit franchise organization are intended to engage all levels of the population in constructive environmental activities, promote the ideas of environmental volunteer services, and form a sustainably minded life style for the population.

SOLUTIONS USED

One of our projects is Clean Games — team competitions on cleaning the natural areas from litters and waste separation. It is a prize game where participants seek artefacts, solve environmental puzzles, gather and separate litters and get points for these activities. One game can include 100–200 persons which gather 2–5 tons of litters.

The important tool to draw attention to the environment issues is distribution of the method for preparation and conducting of Clean Games using a non-profit franchise. The organization takes applications from potential organizers across Russia and abroad, signs a non-commercial agreement, provides the method, tools (web-site, brand book, templates of design layouts, official letters to the authorities and sponsors), provides information support and assists in interaction with the executive bodies of the state authorities via partners.

APART FROM THE MAIN PROJECT, WE ARRANGE

• Clean Challenges — online marathons where participants do a set of useful and creative tasks aimed at mindful consumption, re-use of things and waste recycling;

• Wheel Hunting eco-quest — an ecological team quest with the purpose to remove tyre heaps in nature.

• Baby Sharing project aimed at gratuitous exchange of children's items which can still be used.
