In summer 2013 volunteers conducted “environmental landings” for cleanup on the coast of Lake Baikal. In the hottest months volunteer groups (20 people) are struggled with recreation load, because at weekends the beach near Goryachinsk settlement has up to 400 people. The situation is aggravated by the current waste disposal problem due to lack of budgetary funds for these purposes. Trash containers at summer months are often overcrowded. Despite the difficulties, the work of the shoreline of Lake Baikal was carried out regularly and conscientiously. Participants in the project collected more than 300 bags of garbage. Volunteers not only participated in the labor environmental assaults, but also organized educational activities with the tourists on the shore: conducted interviews and quiz on ecology, distributed garbage bags and handed out leaflets reminding the rules of behavior in nature. In the hard work the guys kept the motto of the project: «Sandy beach of Goryachinsk is the nature museum on the open air».
