On May 11, we celebrate the Day without Littering, a holiday aimed at drawing attention to the problem of increasing waste and the need for responsive segregation and recycling.

Every day, we witness growing environmental problems, such as air, water, and soil solution, as well as the increasing amount of environmental and post-production waste. Although pro-environment actions are being taken, there is still a need for great awareness and social engagement to prevent an inclusive environment catastrophe.

So what can we do?

Take simple actions, such as waste segregation, reducing the use of single-use plastic packaging, or responsive management of resources. Each of these actions has a real impact on the environment.

Alright, but how do we start?

If you are interested in waste segregation, we encourage you to visit the websites of local Waste Collection Points (PSZOK), where you can find out what waste you can dispose of and effectively where (sometimes PSZOK has several locations). If, on the other hand, it comes to daily segregation, the best place to find information is on the websites of cities or communities where you can learn about the containers available and their division in your city, district, or commune.

Replacing single-use packaging should start with replacing plastic bags used for vegetables and fruits with reusable bags that you take from home. For meat or wet products (purchased by weight), you can bring your own container or jar. Most stores will not refuse to pack into your container. Another easy way is to bring your own shopping bags – even these plastic ones you’ve already bought – they are often quick strong and successful for many, many purchases.

We engourage everyone to actively participate in the Day without Littering celebrations. Together, we can do a flight to take care of our planets and leave it in a better condition for future generations.
