The grand opening of the Agoy spring in the Krasnodar region

March 20, 2026

On March 18, the grand opening of the improved Agoy spring took place in the Tuapse district of the Krasnodar region.

The Ecology Foundation, in collaboration with the Russian Geographical Society, carried out comprehensive landscaping work. Now there is easy access to a water source, landscaped rest areas with benches, and a protective wall.

All of this was made possible thanks to you. Thank you to everyone who supported this initiative with a "Save the Springs" certificate. Your help is incredibly valuable!

The environmental agenda didn't end with the spring opening ceremony. A lecture on microplastics and polymers was held in Tuapse next. Around 100 schoolchildren and representatives of the city's environmental councils attended the event. Speaker Anastasia Masterova told the audience about invisible microparticles in the environment. The meeting took the form of a lively discussion: the students were actively interested in the topic and shared ideas for developing environmental projects in their city.

Winter is still going on for bison!

March 2, 2026

For the bison in the Klyazminsko-Lukhsky Nature Reserve, spring has only just arrived on the calendar. Winter is still lingering: the snowdrifts are deep, the nights are long, and there's no food to be found beneath the snow. The bison still need supplemental feeding.

How can you help right now? Support the fundraising campaign to care for bison.

Thanks to everyone who lends a helping hand!

For many years, he has supported foundations that support people with various illnesses. The host is also interested in environmental initiatives.

Anton advocates for waste separation and, together with his son, participates in the "Kind Caps" project. "I'm a proponent of the theory of small actions. Starting with ourselves, sorting waste, turning off unnecessary electrical appliances, using water sparingly, and generally being environmentally responsible, we can gradually move this inert machine forward. Start with yourself, don't wait for others! And those 'others' will follow your example," the presenter inspires.

Anton teaches educational courses at the Green School of the Russian Environmental Operator (REO). These short lessons teach students about responsible consumption, waste management, and preserving the health of the planet.

Anton is also the host of the podcast "Drivers of Progress," where one episode was dedicated to new technologies in ecology and sustainable development. You can listen to the episode on LitRes.

Anton has supported Earth Hour on numerous occasions, sharing this on his social media: "The goal of Earth Hour isn't to save electricity, as many believe. The main goal of Earth Hour is to draw attention to the planet's environmental problems so that everyone can unite and find solutions. It's also a great opportunity to learn what you can do."

Anton Komolov's charisma and talent make the environmental agenda vibrant and memorable. He makes even serious issues sound engaging and captivating, captivating his audience.

#HonestRecycling. Pulperboard recycling

What is pulp cardboard?

Pulpboard is a type of waste paper made from recycled cellulose fibers. The material is highly durable and flexible, making it suitable for packaging a variety of goods. It is most commonly used for egg cartons, trays for fruits and vegetables, coffee and laundry detergent capsules, and cup holders for take-out drinks. Pulpboard is a replacement for foam and bubble wrap. It can also be used to package household appliances, electronics, tableware, and cosmetics, ensuring they are not damaged during transportation. The material is highly flexible and provides reliable protection for packaged goods.

How is pulpboard made and processed?

Another unique feature of pulpboard is its eco-friendliness. This is because pulpboard is essentially a recycled material. Its creation requires moistening waste paper and pouring the liquid mass—pulp—into molds to form the finished product. Furthermore, pulpboard can be recycled again. Although the fibers are depleted and shortened with each recycling cycle, they can still make up to 30% of the recycled material and typically act as filler between longer paper fibers. Thus, with the addition of new paper fibers, pulpboard can be recycled up to 60 times, without the use of chemical components or other additives.

What to do with pulp cardboard packaging?

Pulpboard can be recycled at various eco-centers, recycling collection points, and at recycling collection events organized by eco-volunteer organizations. Pulpboard is accepted for recycling separately from other waste paper. The largest plant in Russia producing pulpboard products is the Solnechnogorsk Experimental Waste Paper Plant (SOEMZ). The plant processes up to 30 tons of raw material daily.

So, if you're faced with the choice of purchasing a product in plastic or pulpboard packaging, choose pulpboard, as it has a low environmental footprint and is made from virgin resources—wood and water.

Snow is falling quietly in the Klyazminsko-Lukhsky Nature Reserve. And bison are coming to their feeding troughs.

Thanks to you, at the end of 2025, we made our first feed purchase—8.5 tons of hay. The bison felt your care and entered the winter well-fed. But this year's winter was long and snowy. February is the hardest month for wintering. Spring is still a long way off, supplies are dwindling, and their strength is waning.

The bison don't have warm apartments or the option of ordering groceries delivered to their homes. All they have is us and our support.

Let's help them in this snowy captivity. Any amount will save them the effort of searching for moss under the snow.

We're already halfway there! Thank you to everyone who responded. Together, we're doing important work!

#Ecotrends. Home gardening

Almost every home has a window sill adorned with flower pots. More and more people are starting to purposefully grow fresh herbs and even vegetables on their windowsills. Home gardening is especially popular. received against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemicModern research suggests that tending your own small garden can become a real hobby, uplifting and stress-relieving.

What can you grow at home?

Microgreens are young crop sprouts harvested at an early stage of growth. Microgreens are grown from both traditional greens (lettuce, onions, dill, parsley, cilantro, basil) and plants rarely used as greens (radishes, daikon, beets).

Greens grown from seeds are the same crops listed earlier. However, they require more time to grow.

Vegetables include dwarf, self-pollinating varieties of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, as well as beans and even onions and carrots. It's recommended to move on to growing vegetables after successfully growing microgreens and herbs.

How to create a suitable microclimate for a home mini-garden?

To maintain healthy and abundant plant growth, it's important to create optimal conditions. Below are some of the key ones:

Lighting. A south-, east-, or west-facing windowsill is ideal. Grow lights can be used for additional lighting. Sun-loving plants, such as basil, should be moved closer to the lights, while shade-tolerant plants, such as lettuce or spinach, should be placed at the edges.

Humidity. On average, a moderate humidity level for indoor plants is 40-60%. Insufficient moisture can cause wilting, while excess moisture can lead to root rot. During the heating season, it is recommended to use humidifiers, place containers of water near the plants, or hang wet towels on radiators.

Temperature. The optimal temperature for most houseplants is considered to be between 18 and 24°C. Avoid sudden temperature changes and drafts. To protect against the cold, you can use wooden stands or insulating material.

Substrate. The choice of planting material depends on the crop. Typically, houseplants prefer a loose, well-drained substrate with good air permeability. Soil or potting mix is traditionally used. You can also try innovative methods like hydroponics, which use jute fiber, coconut coir, linen mats, or mineral wool.

What are the benefits of growing crops at home?

It's economical: growing your own vegetables at home allows you to harvest them without having to buy them in the store.

It's environmentally friendly: growing your own food reduces the burden on transport systems and reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with the transportation and production of agricultural products.

It's beneficial: growing herbs at home allows you to eat fresh produce all year round and helps you avoid using chemicals.

This is interesting: in an apartment garden, you can experiment and plant different crops, not limiting yourself to one type.

Home gardening isn't just a trendy fad, but a conscious decision by city dwellers who want to enjoy fresh, home-grown vegetables and herbs year-round!
