Everything was started from mere trifle. When celebration of event “Taste eco” was at the end, the latest words of Director of Ekopark “Lukomor`e” Nikolay Pomogalov to the Head of NGO “Ecological initiatives “MAMA-86-Sevastopol” Tatyana Gerasimova were:

“Let’s work together again in the future?” “Of course, World Toilet Day is coming” — answered Tatyana Gerasimova.

Thus, Nikolay Pomogalov, who is great enthusiast, creator and very active person, has been inspired of idea to build the Toilet Monument to celebrate the World Toilet Day. When words with deeds, work is humming.

And on November 19, 2013, we opened the Toilet Monument. We are proud of the fact that despite the originality and singularity of such holiday, causing many smiles and puzzles, Sevastopol Eco-park “Lukomorye” and “MAMA-86-Sevastopol” were able to celebrate so grandly the Toilet Day, which this year was officially recognized by UN. Sevastopol Eco-park “Lukomor`e” and “MAMA-86-Sevastopol” did not hesitate to celebrate World Toilet Day, which has been officially recognized by UN this year.

“It was very unusual party. There was a lot of fun. Nevertheless, we had the occasion to think about what we are doing with our environment. How we are polluting it. Maybe someone from whom things are depended, will think about and act to improve the situation,” — said Tatiana Gerasimova, Head of “MAMA-86-Sevastopol”.

The new monument fully reflects the essence of the problem. There is a need to think about future of our Planet, how we turn our rivers in waste waters, and the seas — in bad smell puddles of sewage. Mother Nature used to clean itself. All living organisms interacted as a single mechanism, turning waste into soil nutrients and increasing its fertility. Man has destroyed this balance.

One of our main directions of MAMA-86’s activity is clean water and safe sanitation. In the future we will have still a lot of plans. One of them is opening the museum of toilet, which Nikolay Pomogalov plans to build in the Eco-park.

On the occasion of this original celebration, Tatiana Gerasimova, on behalf of UNENGO “MAMA-86”, presented to Nikolay Pomogalov as a gift — ecological toilet equipment — the bitaz. She expressed the hope that it will be the first exhibit at the museum. Holiday is always joyful and fun. Even if this is Toilet Day.
