A large-scale Olympic eco-campaign took place in one of the forestries of Prykarpattia in western Ukraine with the participation of UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador, President of the National Olympic Committee, Olympic champion Sergey Bubka, famous Olympians and sports community of the region.
More than a thousand large saplings were planted on an area of 0.5 hectares within the framework of the NOC project Olympic Heritage. According to Sergey Bubka, these actions once again prove that sports and such global events as the Olympic Games are not just competitions, goals, points, seconds, but also desire to improve the world. It is an investment in development, education and protection of the environment.
"We all strive to live in a better world, but we must act to make our dreams come true. Such projects as the Olympic Heritage are a great symbol of our determination to enrich our environment and leave a good mark and a better world for the next generations," stressed Sergey Bubka.
