The #ClinexCleanPolskę campaign, which has been running since autumn 2023, is intended to encourage Polish Planet Heroes to clean up Polish forests. We have the first results! Despite the autumn and winter months, we managed to collect 1,000 bags of garbage in Polish forests!
Cleaning up garbage from forests pays off
From October 2023, we encourage you to participate in joint work for a clean environment! Thanks to our cooperation with Clinex, we can additionally offer our users financial support in the form of subsidies! Each bag of garbage collected is worth PLN 20, which goes to the Planet Heroes user account.
Our users clean up Polish forests, where unfortunately we still find a lot of garbage. However, each collection of waste from green areas is of great importance! Especially in spring, when nature comes to life and trees, bushes and lichens become green again and should not be poisoned by toxic waste, plastic bags or broken glass.
1,000 bags equal 60,000 liters of garbage that no longer pollutes Polish forests. More than 180 bags collected are glass, which can be almost entirely recycled. Similarly, plastic garbage, which constitutes most of the waste found in Polish forests (old plastic bags or PET bottles). This is a large base for recycling garbage !
Why is forest cleanup important?
Our campaign continues! With the arrival of spring, we encourage you to clean up the forests even more. Why?
- Because it is biodiversity protection: Forests are home to thousands of species of plants, animals and microorganisms. Removing pollutants such as garbage and waste helps prevent the degradation of their habitats and preserve biodiversity.
- Caring for clean air: Forests are an important element in the natural carbon cycle and oxygen production. Cleaning forests of waste allows for clean air and promotes the health of people and animals.
- Fire prevention: Abandoned garbage, especially glass and combustible materials, can pose a fire hazard to forests, especially during periods of drought. Regular cleaning reduces the risk of fires and protects forests from destruction.
- Water protection: Pollutants left in forests can penetrate soil and groundwater, threatening aquatic ecosystems and human health. Regular cleaning helps prevent water pollution and keep it clean.
- Aesthetics and recreation : Clean and well-kept forests are an attractive place for rest, recreation and communing with nature for local communities and tourists. Removing garbage from forests improves the aesthetics of the surroundings and encourages people to spend time actively outdoors.
Let’s keep going! #ClinexSprzątaPolskę
