The employees of Gazprom Pererabotka Blagoveshchensk LLC took part in the city community cleaning campaign. 50 people cleaned the territory adjacent to the water source in the Severny microdistrict of Svobodny. An 800-meter section near the spring in the area of PMK-111 was cleared of debris. Cleaning in this place is carried out for the third year in a row and has already become traditional.

«Initially, we booked a tractor with two trailers, but we managed to do the job with just one: it has become much cleaner. People stopped taking out household garbage and dumping it under bushes. This year, we've put the spring's territory in order in just an hour,» said Evgeny Savvateev, Chief Specialist for Occupational Safety at Gazprom Pererabotka Blagoveshchensk LLC.

«The people who came to get water thanked us for our work. Residents of the town also began to actively join the community cleaning event: it is noticeable how interest in environmental volunteering is growing, Ekosvoboda campaign launched by the activists of our Public Council involves the younger generation in this process. Last weekend, the children cleaned the area around the art school,» explained Nadezhda Pavlovich, Chief Specialist of the Environmental Protection Department of Gazprom Pererabotka Blagoveshchensk.
