This is the first step that will draw attention to the waste problem and mark the beginning of a systematic solution to it. The project supports waste separation and recycling, advocates environmental education, and promotes the principles of reducing consumption.

An inspiring example:
On May 3, 2008, 50,000 volunteers (5% of the population) in Estonia cleaned up 10,000 tons of waste from nature in just 5 hours, sending it for disposal and recycling. According to the Estonian State Forest Management Centre, after "Let's Do It! 2008", pollution of natural areas decreased by 75%. Five percent is the critical mass that allows the remaining 95% to move to a new level of development. The snowball effect. Five percent of the world's population equals 380 million people.

In Astana, the following locations were designated: Schools No. 14 and 37, the area near the New Railway Station, the embankment along the Sarybulak River, and the "Allanynguli" Mosque.
