00:06 For any city,

00:07 green spaces are the lungs,

00:09 the giant air filters.

00:12 They trap air pollution and help combat climate change,

00:16 but also psychologically,

00:17 there is this theory that uh any time of the day when you look out of the window,

00:21 you should see at least 3

00:23 trees

00:24 to be in balance,

00:25 and here we are

00:27 in the outskirts of Almate,

00:29 beautiful city,

00:30 but this is a new

00:32 part of the city,

00:33 new district,

00:34 which has around 900 apartments

00:36 and there were no trees.

00:39 This is why our annual volunteer day this year

00:43 is dedicated to planting trees.

00:45 We have not been able to do volunteer Day last year er because of COVID.

00:50 And this is why we are so much more enthusiastic to get together

00:54 and to do something good for the community where we live.

00:56 Happy Earth Day,

00:57 everybody.

00:58 Welcome to Almaty.

00:59 We are really very happy to be here and to

01:02 participate in something that is happening all over Kazakhstan because,

01:05 as you know,

01:06 the president has announced 2 billion trees to be planted by 2025.

01:10 This is a very large number and everybody will need to.

01:13 Tributes to make this goal come

01:15 to life.

01:16 Almaty really needs more trees because pollution is still a problem in the city.

01:20 It's also coherent with what we are doing with the government,

01:24 where we are helping both the Almaty blast

01:26 and several blasts in the south on their forestry policy,

01:30 and we are planning to also do more,

01:32 much more planting in the Kizilda blast in the coming years.

01:37 This year in July we will

01:39 celebrate the 30th anniversary of our activities in Kazakhstan.

02:00 Green and sustainable development is something that is very,

02:03 very important to everything we do,

02:05 and we decided to use our volunteer day this year to demonstrate

02:09 this as a symbol of our commitment to green growth in Kazakhstan.

02:12 I think it's really timely to start celebrating.

02:15 30th anniversary of

02:17 tree planting.

02:18 2 billion trees is a lot,

02:20 but we can make a small contribution today

02:22 by planting 100.

02:24 Happy Earth Day to everyone and

02:27 invest in our planet.

02:28 Every day is Earth Day.

02:29 Do your bit for the planet.

02:33 Green spaces for everyone.

02:36 Protect our planet.

02:42 Happy Earth Day.

02:45 Invest in our planet.
