10 ENVIRONMENTAL TIPS

10 ENVIRONMENTAL TIPS

HOW CAN I REDUCE MY ENVIRONMENTAL "FOOTPRINT"?

 

Every day, and of course when shopping and travelling, we realise how important it is to reduce our carbon footprint, to take care of our surroundings and the environment.

The activities we can do in Xert and in general in "Maestrat-Ánima Interior" are diverse and, although I am sure you all know them, I am going to give you some recommendations to help the environment and to have a sustainable tourism.

The aim of these recommendations is to raise awareness among citizens, promoting responsible behaviour and good environmental practices during their stay in Terres del Maestrat.

These are practical tips to make us aware of our actions at the destination and why they may endanger the biological richness of our environment:

 

1. When planning your trip, choose those suppliers that offer you guarantees of quality and respect for the environment.

2. Use resources such as water and energy sparingly. Remember that these are scarce goods.

3. Try to minimise waste generation. They are a source of pollution

4. When you have to dispose of waste, do it in the cleanest way that facilitates its destination.

5.  In a natural area, make sure that the only footprint you leave is that of your footwear.

6. If you visit a nature reserve or any other natural area, find out how to do it in order to cause the least possible impact and not degrade it.

7. When buying souvenirs and gifts, look for local products, you will favour the economy of the villages.

8. On your excursions in the environment, respect wild animals and do not pluck flowers or plants.

9. Enjoy getting to know the gastronomy and traditions of the local people. Get close to them. They have a lot to tell.

10.Try to contribute with your presence to the development of a responsible and sustainable tourism making your trip a healthier and more solidary planet.

 

REMEMBER IF YOU GO TO THE BUSH: YOUR RUBBISH DOES NOT COME BACK ALONE!
