“Don’t litter, it’s a sin” Even the Church goes Green

In the battle to raise environmental awareness, Church and children are strong allies of the Ukrainian authorities. The waste management problem is acute in some regions, and an overall strategy for ecological education as well as illegal waste disposal has been put in place. The government is supported by an EU-funded project, which was launched in the Ukrainian region of Zakarpattia (Transcarpathia) a few months ago, and which is also being implemented in 7 other countries – because today garbage disposal is a real global issue.

This is part of a series of features on projects funded by the EU’s Regional Programme, prepared by journalists and photographers on the ground or the ENPI Info Centre, available in English, Russian, Ukrainian.
