Not only the seas are invaded by plastic<\/strong><\/a>. Now even the mountains, very fragile<\/strong> ecosystems, are threatened by waste that spoils the uncontaminated nature and endangers its many habitats. What are the possible solutions?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plogging and eco-trekking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Northern Europe, they invented plogging<\/strong>. It’s an increasingly popular sport that combines gentle running (jogging<\/em>) with garbage collection (plocka upp<\/em>, which in Swedish means \u201cto clean up\u201d).
But how to make plogging and eco-trekking easier and practicable even in the mountains?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Eco-trekking

Two girls from San Martino di Castrozza<\/strong> thought about it. After a trip to Norway, they put in place a simple but effective<\/strong> solution<\/strong> to clean<\/strong> up the Dolomites and thus take care of their territory.
They are Sara Zaetta and Irene Fontana, the founders of EcoLogica Della Montagna. Born in 2019, within the Association Gruppo Giovani San Martino di Castrozza, it’s a project that aims to help tourists and inhabitants to put into practice a sustainable<\/strong> lifestyle<\/strong>. EcoLogica believes that it is precisely from small actions that we can contribute the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How XChange Box works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It has happened to all hikers<\/strong>, even the careful ones who prefer water bottles to plastic bottles, and always carry a bag to store waste without abandoning it along the way. It is unfortunately easy to find litter<\/strong>, cans, and face masks thrown on the ground by other tourists. In San Martino di Castrozza there is a simple solution: you will find the XChange Box<\/strong> columns. Currently, there are three, located in strategic points in the surroundings and the center of San Martino di Castrozza. You will only have to store the waste you find along the path until you reach a column. It will be the young people of EcoLogica Della Montagna project who will sort<\/strong> them<\/strong> out correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plogging and eco-trekking<\/strong> have arrived in the Dolomites: now you can make a difference even at high altitudes!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
