Three sixth form students (Dono Abdurahmanova, Doniyor Bakhodirov and Bekhruz Suleymanov) from BST had the opportunity to share their thoughts and concerns about recycling and sustainability. They did a presentation about the importance of recycling in schools to protect our planet for future generations. This presentation was done for local and international organizations and embassies. BST felt that it is very important to have young people’s perspectives on recycling heard, because it will become their responsibility to lead these initiatives in future.
