500 in 1

A study conducted by Amway in 16 cities throughout Russia showed that more than 60 percent of respondents are immensely concerned about environmental issues caused by non-biodegradable products. 

That’s just one of many reasons Amway Russia supports an initiative called “500 Waste Collection Actions in One Day,” through an organization called Musora. Bolshe. Net, which translates to ”No. More. Waste.” The organization is part of the larger, global Clean Up the World movement.

On May 15, 2011, Musora. Bolshe. Net set out – with 9,000 volunteers throughout Russia – to clean up parks, gardens and other public areas. Amway provided special gloves; garbage bags; LOC mini wipes; other Amway Home products; and most importantly, 470 distributor and employee volunteers.

By the end of the day, more than 160 tons of waste was collected and cities like Moscow, Samara, Novosibirsk, Ekaterinburg, Irkutsk and many others were cleaner. Musora. Bolshe. Net is an ambitious initiative, and 500 is just the beginning.
