How can everyone help to preserve forests?

We have made a selection of simple tips for every day for everyone who wants to live more environmentally friendly.

Refuse from paper whenever possible:

  • choose digital versions of documents, bills and statements,
  • refuse printed receipts – they cannot be recycled,
  • give preference to e-books and magazines,
  • use notes in your smartphone instead of a diary and sticky notes,
  • scan instead of photocopies,
  • choose cloth towels instead of napkins.

Use paper and wood sustainably:

  • prefer toilet paper made of waste paper instead of cellulose,
  • hand over used paper and wood for recycling,
  • reuse packaging for gifts and parcels,
  • if you print, use both sides of the paper,
  • choose paper and wood products with FSC label.

Choose products with sustainably sourced palm oil:

Choose products with the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oils (RSPO) logo, which confirms that the palm oil in the product is of sustainable origin,
if the logo is not present, avoid products with “palm oil”, “vegetable oil”, “glycerin”, “lauryl lactate”, “lauryl sulfate” in the ingredients.

Visit forests responsibly:

  • if possible, pitch tents in specially designated places,
  • if possible, use marked routes and eco-trails, they are safe and you will not disturb wild animals,
  • do not play loud music, it can disturb wild birds and animals,
  • be careful with bonfires, make them in specially designated places, take into account the fire hazardous period,
  • do not leave garbage behind,
  • do not pick flowers – they will wither quickly, it is better to take a photo as a souvenir,
  • do not break bushes and tree branches for a fire, for this there is dry brushwood in the forest.
