Global No Pesticides Use Day
December 4, 9.00 - 10.20 MSK
Every year, the Global No Pesticides Use Day is celebrated on December 3. This day was chosen to commemorate the environmental disaster that occurred on December 3, 1984 at a pesticide plant in Bhopal, India.
The purpose of the event of the Department of Foreign Languages is to attract the attention of students to the problem of production and use of pesticides that pose a threat to the environment and human health.
To achieve this goal, the following tasks were set:
- To give students a general idea of what pesticides are, what categories they are divided into;
- To introduce students to the pros and cons of using pesticides;
- To explain the harm caused by its use to the environment;
- To suggest alternatives to pesticides in agriculture.
Students of 2-3 courses will take part in the Global No Pesticides Use Day. The program includes presentations of students with reports on the topic of the event, watching educational videos, a discussion about whether it is possible to stop using pesticides, whether there are alternatives that are less harmful to the environment.
