Trash in nature is a big problem. Some of the trash is obviously caused by forest workers, others is carried by the wind or animals (rarely) into the forest or by forest visitors. A big problem is plastic waste, which decays in nature only within decades or centuries, but remains as microplastic and does not decompose.

But people do not watch anymore, they started to collect the garbage. Years ago I launched the BFC-BONUS FOR CLEANING on the Opencaching.de platform, so that mindful nature lovers can get a bonus point as a small reward for their activity.

And I want - not just as proof - that you post a photo of the collected garbage here so that everyone can see the waste that was in the nature. As a reminder for more mindfulness!


Requirement for logging:

Collect the garbage on your hike on the way, take a picture of the filled trash bag in the forest with your navigation device, where you can see the coordinates, and post it in the log.

Found Recommended 08 April 2019 Euni found the geocache

Heute habe ich eine Runde durch dieses schöne Waldgebiet gemacht und doch recht viel Müll gefunden. Ich habe mir auch den Lehrbienenstand angeschaut. Verbesserungsvorschlag: Vielleicht sollte für die Koordinaten ein markanter Punkt (Wegweiser, Schuthütte, Infotafel o. ä.) genutzt werden. Dann könnte man den Ort des Fotos eindeutiger identifizieren. Halte ich für besser als das Fotos des GPS-Gerätes. Viele nutzen jetzt Handys, außerdem: Die Mülltüte ist größer als die Anzeige des GPS-Gerätes, so dass es schwer ist, beide auf einem Foto unterzubringen. Trotzdem: Empfehlung.
