May there always be ...

This work was done by a group of young activists who really care about nature. Members of the Ecological Club “Eremurus” and the Youth Ecological Network of Uzbekistan, with the support of the Norwegian Society for Nature Conservation and the US Embassy in Uzbekistan, took part in the development of a brochure as part of the “School of Resource and Energy Use” project.

It is impossible to find a solution to the global environmental problems facing humanity today without changing people's lifestyles and their attitude towards the environment. This small brochure contains simple tips that we can use in our daily lives so that each of us can make a significant contribution to conservation.

The first part of the publication summarizes important information about the current state of the environment in the world and in Uzbekistan in particular. Impressive figures and facts about climate change, biodiversity, desertification and other global environmental problems encourage every reader to think about the scale and severity of the global environmental crisis.

In the following sections of the book, the authors suggest actions. In everyday life, at home, at work, in the store - everywhere, each of us can contribute to solving environmental problems step by step every day without much effort. Saving resources and energy, proper waste management, thoughtful purchases, a number of actions for efficient use of the car and many other aspects help not only to preserve nature, but also to save a significant part of the family budget. Because every step taken has its consequences. The authors provide specific indicators that can be measured to save resources and reduce environmental pollution. Such indicators can be achieved by following the advice proposed in the publication.

If you download and read the booklet and then give it to others to read and help change their lifestyle, you will have done a great job.
