An educational meeting on environmental issues was held for seventh-grade students at Tbilisi Public School No. 142. The initiative aimed to raise young people's awareness of sustainable development principles and the importance of environmental protection.

The meeting was led by representatives of Tegeta Green Planet and Shine Energy. Under the theme “A Sustainable Future: Environment, Transport and Energy,” students learned about waste management, the responsible use of resources, environmental protection and the importance of renewable energy.

The educational session was conducted in an interactive format. Through presentations, discussions and team activities, students were introduced to the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system, its purpose and its role in environmental protection. Participants also discussed how everyday actions can help reduce environmental pollution and conserve resources.

As part of the meeting, students took part in an environmental game and a practical activity, which helped them better understand the knowledge they had gained and relate environmental issues to their daily lives. At the end of the session, participants received certificates and symbolic gifts.

Tegeta Green Planet has been operating since 2022 and is one of the first authorized Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) organizations in Georgia. The organization supports the development of a circular economy by collecting and recycling waste tires, waste oils and used batteries, helping reduce negative environmental impacts and ensuring compliance with legally established obligations.

Promoting environmental education among young people is one of the key areas of focus for Tegeta Green Planet and Shine Energy. To this end, educational sessions are held at various schools, introducing students to environmental protection, resource conservation and sustainable development in an engaging and practical way.

Initiatives of this kind help raise environmental awareness and foster a culture of environmental responsibility among young people, an important prerequisite for building a sustainable future.
