MOSCOW, May 21, 2021, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--
Right at the start of this year's 9th season of Football for Friendship (F4F),
the International Children's Social Programme organised by Gazprom, the young
participants from over 200 countries discussed their contribution to
environmental protection.
In an online challenge, whose theme was "Small steps to save the planet", the
young F4F participants presented their contribution to environmental protection
in short video clips and invited other children in the project to do the same.
The challenge was launched on 15th May at the first digital meeting of the
Young Players and Young Journalists aged 12 to 14 years.
For Leonardo Lewis from Spain, Madina Maysar from Kazakhstan, Mintoser Bahr
from Libya and Nanihi Broseus from Tahiti, doing without plastic bags and
plastic bottles is at the top of their list of priorities. Asif Muhammad Rashid
from Sri Lanka and Dominic Kremberger from Sweden try to use water sparingly,
whilst Ananya Kamboji from India and Mohamad Adam Faris from Brunei were
supported by many other participants in their appeal to use public transport
more often.
Further suggestions from the young participants covered the need to use energy
sparingly and to use renewable energies more, to stop using chemical
fertilizers, to start composting food and garden waste and to make greater use
of renewable raw materials. They can be viewed by clicking on the following

F4F has been committed for many years to treating nature and the environment
with care. In 2018, for example, the practice of giving the International Teams
of Friendship the names of animal species that are threatened with extinction
was introduced. This year, teams with names like: "Chinese alligator",
"Red-legged crow" and "Dusky shark" are taking part in the F4F eWorld
Championship, which will take place in a digital format on the multiplayer
simulator "Football for Friendship World" (F4F World) from 24th to 29th May. 32
Teams of Friendship with players from over 200 countries will be participating.
