Spring cleaning in the mountains

Litter; from here you can't see it, but when you get closer, this is no less than 65 tonnes of rubbish that 6000 volunteers picked up from the slopes of 165 ski resorts last year.

Choose your resort

From ski resorts to crags and other areas where you can go climbing, this year everybody has got involved in the mountain clean up. So why don’t you meet up with the locals at your local ski-resort or your favourite outdoor playground and help out.

 

List your event

Clubs, tourist information offices, lift services, associations, groups of friends or just free radicals: You too can get involved in the European spring clean simply by listing your event.

Time to get moving!

Mountain riders and all its volunteers have come together so that everybody can become aware of the impact rubbish has in the mountains, and people’s behaviour concerning their rubbish can be changed.
For this to happen, each one of us can take certain small steps:

• If you brought it up the mountain, take it back down the mountain with you.
• Dispose of rubbish properly in the closest recycling bins

We need to go even further than this, by reducing rubbish at its source:

• Buying products with reusable packaging or with packaging made of recyclable material
• Buying products with little or no packaging
