The All-Russian action "Water of Russia" launched an application on the social network "VKontakte" that will help eco-volunteers organize bank cleaning events. This was reported by the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia on its website.

“The task of the mini-application is to scale the number of eco-actions and volunteers who participate in them. In particular, actions to clean the banks of rivers and lakes "Water of Russia", said the department.

To organize or conduct community work days, publish environmentally oriented posts, and complete other tasks from the application, users will receive points for organizing or conducting community work days, publishing environmentally oriented posts, and completing other tasks from the application. They  can then be exchanged for diplomas from the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources and souvenirs.

“During the first period of operation, the Water of Russia application was downloaded by more than 25 thousand people, and there are already the first reports on the campaign, for which the first points were awarded. A rating is formed among the points holders,” the message says.

Over time, the functionality of the application will expand.

The action "Water of Russia" has been held since 2014, today it covers the whole country.
