Students of the ASU Department Participated in the “Environmental Literacy — A Step Towards a Sustainable Future” Campaign

On October 15, 2026, an environmental campaign entitled “Environmental Literacy — A Step Towards a Sustainable Future” was held as part of the 6th Adult Learning Week. Students of the Department of Automated Control Systems (ASU) of the Agrarian-Technical Institute of the Scientific, Educational and Production Complex “Jalal-Abad State University named after B. Osmonov” actively participated in the event.

The main objective of the campaign, organized by the Green Innovation Center Public Foundation, was to raise environmental awareness among the population, promote responsible attitudes towards the environment, encourage proper household waste sorting practices, and foster the rational use of natural resources.

As part of the event, participants attended informative and practical workshops entitled “The Truth About Plastic,” “Sort Waste Correctly!” and “There Is an Alternative.” During these sessions, detailed information was provided on the negative impact of plastic waste on the environment, the time required for plastic materials to decompose in nature, methods of separate waste collection, and procedures for preparing waste for recycling.

Students of the ASU Department gained valuable knowledge about environmental issues and participated in practical demonstrations and interactive activities focused on proper waste sorting. They also learned about the advantages of environmentally friendly alternatives to single-use plastic products, including reusable shopping bags, water bottles, and food storage containers.

Particular attention was paid to maintaining a clean environment, reducing plastic waste, and developing environmentally responsible habits in everyday life. The students emphasized the importance of such initiatives for society and recognized that every individual can contribute to environmental protection.

The environmental campaign contributed to raising environmental awareness and promoting ecological responsibility among students of the ASU Department. It also encouraged respect for nature, active civic engagement, and the promotion of sustainable development principles.
