Lake Van, the world's largest soda lake, is the largest lake in Turkey. Van Lake has a different aquatic ecosystem than both freshwater and marine ecosystems. There are birds rooms on the lake. However because of the pollution; 8 to 12 tons of garbage are collected a day on the lake shore. In the province of Van, water pollution has reached serious levels and it has been observed that the pollution load of water increases. The causes of pollution of water resources are domestic wastes, solid wastes and agricultural wastes in order of priority. The discharge of 80% of the wastewater of the city center and districts without treatment causes contamination of both underground and surface waters. Although an action plan has been announced every year under the name of protecting Lake Van Basin, preventive measures have not been provided to date.

We cannot ignore our environment.With this project VAGEAD youngsters aim to raise awareness about sustainability and wastes in the cities around Lake Van and from other countries in the world
