We ask for your help in keeping Brežice clean and green during your stay.
Brežice, a picturesque town with rich cultural and natural heritage, prides itself on its beautiful landscapes, historic sites, and welcoming community. However, just like any popular destination, it faces the challenge of waste and littering. As visitors, you play a crucial role in preserving the beauty of this destination.
Why Is Littering a Problem?
Littering is not just an eyesore, it also harms the environment, wildlife, and overall tourism experience. When waste is left in public spaces, it affects the local flora and fauna, contaminates water sources, and degrades the natural beauty that makes Brežice such a special place. Moreover, it can diminish the experience of future visitors and negatively impact local communities.
How Can You Help?
1. Dispose of Waste Responsibly Wherever you are in Brežice, please make use of the waste bins provided. You will find bins for general waste, recycling, and even compostable waste at key locations like parks, historical sites, and along walking trails. If you can't find a bin nearby, please keep your waste with you until you find one.
2. Embrace the "Leave No Trace" Principle When exploring Brežice’s beautiful parks, rivers, and rural areas, try to leave no trace of your visit. This means packing out everything you bring with you—whether it's food wrappers, empty bottles, or other trash. If you're hiking, cycling, or spending time outdoors, remember that your actions have an impact on the environment.
3. Recycle, Recycle, Recycle Brežice is dedicated to reducing waste through recycling, so please take a moment to sort your waste. Look for recycling bins that accept paper, plastic, glass, and metal. Proper sorting helps reduce waste and conserve resources.
4. Participate in Local Clean-Up Events Join local clean-up events during your stay! Brežice often organizes community clean-up days, where both locals and visitors come together to help maintain the cleanliness of the town and its surroundings. It's a fun way to contribute to the community and connect with others.
5. Spread the Word Help raise awareness among fellow travelers and locals by promoting responsible waste disposal. A simple message, like "Take only memories, leave only footprints," can encourage others to follow your example.
