Clogging of water bodies is a threat of a global catastrophe. To attract people's attention to this issue, the International Day for the Purification of Water Reserves was established, which the world community notes in the fall. Given the climatic features, some regions of the holiday were postponed for the first weekend of June. All activities are conducted on a volunteer basis. Participation in them of famous diving clubs and societies is a kind of appeal that encourages people who are not indifferent to help nature.
Traditions of the International Day for the Purification of Water Bodies
On this day, enthusiasts gather in groups and clean the coastal area of garbage, and diving lovers are engaged in cleaning the bottom. In order not to be bored, the work is conducted in the form of competitions with division into teams and strict judges. Simple action becomes spectacular and interesting. Organizers in advance prepare awards for winners in various nominations. The World Day for the Purification of Water Bodies completes a picnic by a cheerful friendly company on a clean shore. Support of local administrations with the provision of equipment, attraction of media and sponsors, expands the possibilities of the holiday. The most important "catch" is brought by members of the dive clubs. The task of the others is to be in solidarity with the main participants, to support the general idea of making our planet cleaner, by saving it in a single day from dozens of tons of garbage.
Each family has a favorite vacation spot by the sea or near a small river. Adults who do not have the opportunity to work together with everyone can come up with their own scenario and, together with the children, get connected to the cleaning of the coastal zone at any convenient time. After all, from the correct education of the growing generation, depends on which land we will walk on, and in what pond we will have to swim.
