class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">As we have told you, we want you to have a balanced relationship with the environment and we are sure that by applying these small actions, <b>the road will be easy and fast<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reuse_reduction_and_recycling\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Reuse, reduction and recycling<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The first action concerns a comprehensive behaviour: <strong>applying the rule of the three R&#8217;s in your life<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The first is <strong>reuse<\/strong>. Find out what you can do to reuse the <b>products <\/b><b>once <\/b>they <b>get the primary use <\/b>for which they are intended.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">When we buy a bottle of tomato sauce, we can use the bottle again after finishing the contents to contain some other food. It can be a homemade sauce or whatever you like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong>Reduction<\/strong> is the second part of our first rule of environmental decalogue. In order to comply with this rule, you must review your consumption habits and<strong> find out where you can reduce the amount of disposable waste<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Let&#8217;s look at an example to help you understand better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If you are a person who likes to exercise and prefers water in the supermarket, rather than buying small packs, buy the packs with a larger capacity and refill reusable bottles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">This way you don&#8217;t throw away 12 bottles of water, but only two and if you want to reuse it, it&#8217;s much better.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The final step is <strong>recycling<\/strong>, one of the most important of all our environmental calories <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For example, that old cowboy who doesn&#8217;t fit anymore can become a good shopping bag. This <b>reduces waste and avoids the use of raw materials <\/b>in the production of a commercially reusable bag.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Waste_comes_and_goes_with_you\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Waste comes and goes with you<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We all love the paradisiacal and beautiful landscapes of untouched nature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">A well-maintained field, a beach with crystal clear water and white sand, a flowing and clean river, all these scenarios can be disturbed when man appears.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">So, if you&#8217;re going to have a <b>good time <\/b><b>in contact with nature <\/b>and take some snacks, juices, food, among other things, make sure you take all the waste with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Of course you have to throw every piece of waste into the right container to close the full circle and make sure that only the footprints of your steps remain on the sand.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_if_there_are_no_identified_containers\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">What to do if there are no identified containers?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We continue with the <b>Decalogue to<\/b> take care of the environment and now we are dealing with a problem that occurs very often, especially when we go on holiday to remote places or natural environments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Imagine for a moment that you are on your dream beach and you want to dispose of the waste in the right way, but there is a small problem: there are no identified containers or there is only one container for all types of waste.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The recommendation is to take some of the bags you brought with you, identify them and classify the waste according to the type of content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">After sorting the waste, take it with you <b>and throw it in the first <\/b>identified <b>container <\/b>you find.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Responsible_consumption\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Responsible consumption<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Responsible consumption is also part of the Decalogue of the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Knowing where the products we consume come from, how the raw material for their production was obtained, what the impact of the production process is, among other data, is important to measure the impact of your consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is often <b>said<\/b> as a marketing strategy <b>that a product is ecological and in reality it is not<\/b> <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sustainable_tourism\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Sustainable tourism<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Sustainable tourism allows us to enjoy the most beautiful places of natural life with the certainty that <b>before, during and after our stay <\/b>the site will be preserved as you found it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">For example, in the case of sustainable tourism, it is preferable to travel by bicycle or on foot, avoiding pollution by fossil fuels in order to reach protected places.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Natural_resources_are_our_most_precious_asset\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Natural resources are our most precious asset<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In Africa, one drop of water can mean the <b>difference<\/b> <b>between life and death<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">It is customary that when we have permanent access to natural resources, we do not understand their value and underestimate their importance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The conscious use of natural resources, such as water, enables us to meet our needs and give others the opportunity to meet theirs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prefer_public_transport\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Prefer public transport<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In your daily life <strong>there are things you can do<\/strong> <b>without starting your car <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Buying bread or food in the corner shop, taking the children to the park, taking a ride with friends, can be done without using the car.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">If the distances are long, you can use public transport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Don&#8217;t think about the loss of comfort<\/b>, think about the fuel you don&#8217;t use anymore, the gases your car doesn&#8217;t emit while driving and the money you save by refuelling your car <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_off_that_lamp\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Turn off that lamp!<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Electricity is another resource which, if we have it, <b>we don&#8217;t realize how important it is to our lives<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Obtaining energy, even if this is done in a sustainable way, requires the use of raw materials extracted from the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The best behaviour we can have, to contribute to our decalogue for the environment, is to use electrical energy responsibly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Another action <b>you can take is to install low-consumption lamps<\/b>, such as LED lamps, products that will illuminate your rooms with optimised consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sustainable_fashion\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Sustainable fashion<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Many of the clothes we use are made of textile materials, including plastic, in larger or smaller quantities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Identify <b>shops and clothing brands that respond to the reasons for sustainable fashion <\/b>and avoid the use of polluting materials <b>for <\/b>lack of knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">We assure you that you will continue to dress well and that your footprint will be kept to a minimum.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Say_goodbye_to_the_plastic_bags\"><\/span><span class=\"s1\">Say goodbye to the plastic bags<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Don&#8217;t forget that the entire European Union is developing the necessary legal framework to minimise the use of
