Reduce YOUR impact on the environment

Recycling and waste sorting are important! Make a difference and dispose of your rubbish in the designated waste bins. And why not reduce your footprint? You can compensate for transport by paying a little extra when buying tickets or through organisations such as Myclimate, which invest this money in projects related to environmental protection.
