Ecologist Day in Russia is celebrated on June 21. This is one of the youngest Russian holidays. It was installed in 2007. It is celebrated not only by experts professionally involved in environmental protection, but also by those who simply love nature and appreciate its beauty.
Who do you want to congratulate?
You can congratulate on the Day of the Ecologist in the same way as with any other holiday. Nothing prevents, for example, sending out postcards. True, paper postcards on the day of the ecologist are still rarely found on sale, but you can make them yourself. Choose a suitable picture, process it in a graphic editor, overlay the inscription "Happy ecologist's day!" or “Congratulations on Ecologist Day”, print on thick paper. You can not print, but send the postcard by e-mail or via a private message on social networks.
For a postcard, a landscape, an image of an animal or plant is suitable.
Thematic program
Ecologist Day is a very suitable way to talk about environmental issues. You can call local radio or television, ask to make a news story about environmental problems in your region, at the same time congratulate all residents who are interested in these problems. You can suggest writing an article for this day about an environmental organization or about one of its activists. This will also be a great congratulation.
Despite the fact that the media pay great attention to environmental issues, sometimes it is necessary to remind about the Day of the Ecologist.
Saturday and concert
You can also celebrate this holiday with various promotions. For example, organize a cleanup in the nearest forest park or water protection zone. It is better to notify the local administration and utilities about the upcoming action, since you, obviously, will need to somehow take out the collected garbage. Don't forget to negotiate inventory, plastic bags, and gloves. After the clean-up, you can hold a concert by local bands or invited guests, thus congratulating not only the participants of the clean-up, but also everyone who wishes. By the way, environmental campaigns can be very different, from collecting plastic bottles to distributing environmental leaflets.
Conference and environmental readings
An environmental conference can be timed to coincide with this day. Of course, it needs to be announced a few months before the opening. Think over the topic and range of issues that you would like to discuss. You can hold a conference in the library, school assembly hall, recreation center and even in a tent camp, since it happens in the summer.
Think about decoration. You can, for example, make a banner on which you write the name of the conference, what it is dedicated to, the time and place of the conference. It is appropriate to congratulate the audience at the beginning or at the end of the event.
