Have you ever wondered why trash stays behind in nature? Most of the time, it's because people leave it behind. In mountain landscapes, climatic conditions significantly slow down the decomposition of waste and some materials don’t break down at all. This harms plants and animals and can even be dangerous for humans. That’s why we kindly ask you to follow these four important points:
- Don’t leave anything behind in nature
- Only pack what you really need – here’s a guide on how to pack your backpack properly
- Take everything back home with you that you carried into the mountains
- Once at home, separate and dispose of your waste properly
