nature and motherland. The “Eco-Kid” Z.Buyankhishig is a seventh grade pupil of
117th school, is also a member of “Eco” club of the school. “It is nice to look
back after picking up all litter from the shores of the river. However, the
shores would fill up with litter within just few days. The river is polluted by
people, planting more trees on the shores should help," said Buyankhishig.
His father
Zorigtbaatar prepared a small space at a bend of the river to build a
children’s playground with trees planted around it. The Minister approved this
initiative and promised to collaborate, and obligated her officials to pursue
this work.
“All children
from either apartments or ger (national dwelling) districts deserve to have
decent playgrounds and green facilities,” noted the Minister and promised to
show her full support. Initiatives of Buyankhishig and Zorigtbaatar meet the
objectives of the Ministry, she added.
Mr Zorigtbaatar
has six children. He has begun cleaning the shores of the Selbe river since he

litter. It was when a man posted their picture on Facebook, the boy was since
called the “Eco-Kid”.
