Set up the sky, support the tent, open the folding table and chair, cook coffee under the sunset, roast steak on the grass, play with the dog in the woods, push the cup next to the stove ...

In 2022, the camping walked into people's vision at an unprecedented speed. From simple lawn picnic, to thoughtful and exquisite camping, to reinstallation and camping, people in the city and epidemic seemed to find a convenient way to embrace nature.

However, the environment and ecological problems behind camping fanatics are often overlooked.

Camping should leave only footprints and memories. The best way for "no trace to camping" is to enter a mountain forest with the principle of "respect" and "enough" at the beginning.

Settling in the camp, first choose a strong ground to avoid camping on the fragile and difficult to recover; choose a regular, qualified camping place to avoid going to the barren mountain jungle.

Camping is inseparable from the source of the fire. If you have to use bright fires, please stay away from the grass, do not cut the trees, and only take small branches on the ground. In the environment that is covered with no cultivation, it is recommended to take a bunch of nearby sand or gravel, put it on the pad, and put firewood and burn camp fire on this pile of sand. After turning off, pour the ashes and sand back to the original place, collect the pads away, and restore the original.

Today's reinstallation and camping, the toilet can be moved to the wild, but it is recommended to bring a small shovel and find a hidden place, at least 60 meters away from the water source, camp or trail, dig a pit, buried soil, "nourish" the earth, "nourish" the earth, "nourish" the earth, "nourish" the earth. At the same time, I will not let my later friends step on "thunder".

Refusing to one -time tableware, from the perspective of environmental protection or the purpose of camping without trace. After lunch, the leader asked the team members to count how much garbage produced by their lunch.

The players who brought the self -heated food became negative textbooks. There were 9 semi -packaged small packaging in a cup of milk tea, including milk tea powder bags, milk tea fruit bags, sweetness bags, straws, etc. : "Selling 1 billion cups a year, the cup can be connected to the earth 3 circles", which is terrible.

Camping is also a choice of group building in many corporate groups. However, the existence of a large amount of garbage is not only the scenery of the camping site, but also affects the local natural ecology. Instead, the garbage generated near the water source may contaminate the water source and affect the survival of the surrounding creatures.

More and more parents take their children to participate in non -trace mountain forest activities. In addition to taking away the garbage they generate, they will also clean up the garbage around the camp by the way.

Only everyone will protect the environment as their own responsibility, can the camping boom and continue in the long run. Except for photos and memories, nothing is taken; except for footprints, nothing is left.

No trace camping, let the mountain forests forget that we have come.
