Activists-environmentalists call to plant trees in Bishkek
Youth movement MoveGreen calls Bishkek residents to plant a tree in your yard, at a school, at an office and take care of it within a year.
«For more people to follow your example, we suggest to post photos at work and / or of planted trees, marking its place (address of the house or intersection of streets) with a hashtag #GreenBishkek and mark a friend to hand over a green baton,» the movement suggests.
Activists remind that it is allowed to plant trees without coordination with municipal services of the city in «restricted territory» only. This is a yard of a storeyed building, the territory of a municipal institution (school, kindergarten and other institutions). Usually these territories are located from the sidewalk to the building. A tree should be located 2 meters away from wires and underground communications and not less than in 5 meters from a building.
The five-day campaign is to be completed on March 25 by symbolic turning off the lights in the houses from 8.30 pm to 9.30 pm in «Earth Hour.»
