Bulgarian Ski Resort`s Neighbour Starts Environmental Campaign

Рубрика: Tourism Източник: Rubbish takes years to decompose...
“Plastic bottles, cigarette butts, and sweet wrappers take decades to decompose and are polluting our mountains. Our campaign aims to explain that the habit of throwing your rubbish on the snow (often from chair-lifts or around ski bars and places to eat or everywhere in the fragile mountain) is not a gesture without consequences.”
The notice boards advise that food waste takes two months to decompose, paper six months, cigarettes two years, food wrappers 50 years, tin cans 300 years and plastic bottles an estimated 500 years.

Respect for saplings too...
Other advice from the group is that whilst in the mountains, do not damage young trees when skiing off-piste. Respect protected areas and species and be aware of the impact that your presence may have on our fragile environment.
