Running, walking, cycling or simply contemplating, these outdoor activities contribute to everyone's well-being and are experiencing renewed interest.
The natural spaces of the Bruche valley are an invaluable asset, Let's not give up ! It is not forbidden to raise awareness among those around you, visitors, novices, the uninitiated and “ungentlemanly” users of good gestures and to encourage them to behave respectfully.
Did you know?
At a time when Nature is retreating in the face of urbanization, is exposed to increasing travel flows and where activity zones are multiplying... wild spaces are shrinking to nothing. Strong pressure is exerted on fauna, flora and natural environments.
At the same time, the imperative need for nature for physical and mental health has emerged, particularly after confinement, as as essential as air and water, and has increased the use of natural spaces.
Dance what contexts, Behave in nature becomes an imperative necessity.
However, the findings are sometimes alarming: abandoned wild waste, inscriptions on trees, cut or crushed flowers, picnics on hay meadows, disturbed and stressed animals, damaged fences, harvested fruit, etc.
When we know that the lifespan of the waste that litters our forests, rivers and pastures is: 4000 years for glass, 450 years for plastic bottles, 200 to 500 years for aluminum cans, 400 years for bags plastic, 5 years for chewing gum and 2 years for cigarette butts... it makes you dizzy and increases our individual and collective responsibility.
The nature we pass on to our children depends on our behavior today.
There are no small gestures when there are millions of us doing them!
