My Social Media for Social Change Campaign

There is one issue that I've been concerned about even when I was still in Russia. There is a huge forest right next to my house in my city and it's not in the best shape and conditions there now are really not good and disapposinting.
We with my friend have already made a video clip about this problem. There we showed the way we were cleaning up this area, told some details about that particular forest and tried to encourage others to help us to make this place much better for everyone.
If this forest is clean and well-maintained, it can definitely become one of the nicest parks in my city! It's a wonderful place for spending time with children. Jogging, walking, riding а bicycle - everything will be available there.
I have showed this video to my Russian classmates already and they supported me but I don't think that it's enough. So I would be eager to share it with a bigger audience. With you, my dear readers! :)
My Facebook, VKontakte and Instagram pages can totally help me to embody this idea. I can also provide different flashmobs for spreading the word about this campaign.
'Would you like to have a nice park in our city to spend time at with your family? Help us to save Ometyev Forest!'

About me

 Hi everyone! My name is Aygul Yusupova and I'm an exchange student from Russia. Currently I'm staying in the wonderful state of Colorado thanks to the FLEX program.
I'm very happy to see all of you on my Social Media for Social Change campaign blog! Here I'd like to grab your attention on solving the issue of saving the forest in my home city of Kazan.
Do you want to have a nice park for spending time with your family and friends or a dull forest with tons of trash everywhere? I'm assuming you've chosen the first option ;)
And together w can really make it happen. Let's help to save the Ometyev Forest!
