They also said children learn best when they see environmental problems themselves.
Waste should be sorted at home so useful materials can be reused.
Everyone, including families and governments, has a role in keeping places clean.

National Environmental Concern Federation representative who addressed the gathering
“The attempt was to show the next generation the environment’s real condition directly and, from today, to raise awareness about cleanliness and conservation. Children should think of the surroundings as part of their own home.”
