Rethink our behaviour in forests
Do you like seeing trash on the ground? Is the smell coming from spilled fuel pleasant to you? No matter what your answer is, these and similar phenomena are harming nature. Forests, too, are exposed to many harmful effects. This activity will lead you to acknowledge some basic behaviour that is forest-friendly and encourage you to think actively about how you can improve your behaviour when you are in the forest. It will also encourage you to tell others in your social circle about proper behaviour in forest and debate about why is this important.
