On July 9, a meeting of the Environmental council under the Governor of St. Petersburg was held. The issues of maintaining the ecological well-being of water bodies on the territory of St. Petersburg were considered and ways to improve their health, as well as suggestions for organizing the "Neva Day".
It was decided to approve the idea of the "Neva Day" and prepare a draft proposal for its organization for the next meeting. In addition, it was decided to create a working group under the Environmental council "Waste management in St. Petersburg".
On July 16-18, 2021, the opening of the ecological and educational museum "PRO garbage" will take place in St. Petersburg.
One of the tasks is to change people's habitual view of garbage, "to form a culture of effective waste management for the future generation. To show the possibilities and solutions for the cost-effective and environmentally safe use of garbage as a valuable raw material for the production of finished products" (project manager, General Director of Synergy + Holding German Vladimirovich Khilchenko).
On the official website of the project promusorv.ru the following is specified:
The museum has its own peculiarities, it has a container architecture and at any time can move to any point in Russia, to an exhibition or an environmental event.
The organizers explain why this is necessary: "The unique design of the "PRO garbage" museum serves as an example of how to use things that have become unnecessary wisely. Even the walls of our exhibition demonstrate the possibilities of their effective use. The three-storey building of the museum, built from sea containers, is a spacious and comfortable exhibition complex, which has no analogues not only in Russia, but also in the world. The building can be disassembled into individual parts, like a constructor, transported to another place and reassembled".
