– Hey you…
– No worries, fruit scraps break down in nature!
– They actually take very long to break down. Take your litter home!
走在山徑，常遇見橙皮蕉皮在地上，喇叭仔話比大家知：「果皮唔係咁易分解」
- 山上的環境、溫度及土壤，未必能真正分解而且會造成衞生問題，影響野生動植物
- 太多果皮掉在山上，分解速度根本無法追上丟棄速度
- 大多水果來自外國，並非本地原生品種，如有果核發芽成長，可能對原生物種帶來不良影響
- 果皮也可能帶有農藥，如直接丟棄在大自然中，嚴重影響野生動植物
喇叭仔呼籲各位山友，當進入大自然時，大家都以尊重及負責任態度，實踐無痕山林，自己垃圾自己帶走，將對環境影響減到最少，一起守護同時享受樂在山林。
Banana peels are often spotted along the trails. Hear what megaphone has to say, “ fruit scraps don’t decompose as easily as you think!”
-
Temperature, soil conditions and other environmental parameters might not facilitate complete decomposition. It can incur hygiene issues and affect wild flora and fauna
-
With the numbers of hikers frequenting our countryside, the speed of fruit peels decomposition will never outcompete the speed of their accumulation.
-
A lot of the fruits we eat are non-native species imported from abroad. If their seeds sprout to life, it might adversely affect the local fauna.
-
Pesticides remaining on fruit peels will enter the nature and affect flora and fauna.
[Megaphone’s announcement] When we are in nature, please respect the environment and act responsibly. Minimise your impact by always following the “Leave no trace and bring your litter home” rule. Let’s enjoy in nature and coexist with it in harmony.
