Baasansuren shares that becoming an environmental trainer has positively transformed her mindset and lifestyle. \u201cI have realized that we can begin with ourselves when making eco-friendly choices. Now, I try to save energy every day, separate our waste, and monitor electricity use,\u201d she says. Having grown up close to farming and often carrying water for greenhouses as a child, Ms Baasansuren draws on these experiences to connect with the community and make her training more relatable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Others who attended in her training have\u00a0 also reported meaningful changes. \u201cThe training was very engaging. Many families are now motivated to plant trees in their yards, but it\u2019s important to choose species that are suitable for the local environment\u201d said B. Ulziitsetseg, a resident of the 6th khoroo. M. Temuulen, a resident from the 3rd khoroo, said, \u201cThis kind of training is very useful. If more people in the district had access to this information, the impact would be even greater. I plan to share what I\u2019ve learned with my family and neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The training has proven valuable for people of all ages. Residents have started practicing seedling care, planting trees, sorting waste, and reducing their use of plastics.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-21414 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/f2174acd-12f8-4139-b3c8-b135bec68987-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1974\" height=\"896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/f2174acd-12f8-4139-b3c8-b135bec68987-1-1.jpg 1974w, https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/f2174acd-12f8-4139-b3c8-b135bec68987-1-1-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/f2174acd-12f8-4139-b3c8-b135bec68987-1-1-1024x465.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/f2174acd-12f8-4139-b3c8-b135bec68987-1-1-768x349.jpg 768w, https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/f2174acd-12f8-4139-b3c8-b135bec68987-1-1-1536x697.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1974px) 100vw, 1974px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For Ms Baasansuren, this project is more than just about sharing knowledge.
