More than 40,000 Moscow students took part in a traveling poster session on microplastics organized by the Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank.
December 30, 2025
Over 40,000 Moscow students participated in a large-scale educational project by the Ecology Foundation of the Russian Agricultural Bank, aimed at increasing environmental awareness among young people and developing waste management. The key event was a traveling poster session, "Truth and Myths about Microplastics," held at leading Moscow universities.
Microplastics are an invisible but pressing environmental threat today. These microparticles penetrate soil, water, air, and food chains, negatively impacting ecosystems and human health. The Foundation's project aims to provide scientific answers to the most important questions in an accessible and visual form: what are microplastics and how are they formed, what are their real consequences for nature and humans, and how can everyone reduce their use in everyday life.
The Ecology Foundation's poster session was successfully held at prestigious Moscow universities, including Bauman Moscow State Technical University, Sergo Ordzhonikidze Russian State Hydrometeorological University (MGRI), Russian State Social University, Moscow State Institute of Geodesy, Informatics, and Culture (MIIGAIK), D.I. Mendeleyev Russian Chemical Technology University, Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas (National Research University), and Lomonosov Moscow State University.
The project's reach was not limited to the capital. Educational events were held at the Cheboksary Botanical Garden and online for the environmental council of School No. 11 in Tuapse.
"Since 2023, we have been systematically working on environmental education and engaging Russians in practical initiatives. Having seen strong audience interest, especially among young people, we are striving to expand this experience. This year, winning the Presidential Grants Fund competition allowed us to expand the project's reach. In 2026, we will continue to expand the range of participants, and we invite educational institutions and organizations from across the country to join our initiatives," noted Elmira Morozova, Director of the Ecology Foundation at the Russian Agricultural Bank.
