Schillchaos at the Uckerseeerastplatz: a eyesore for Prenzlau!

Uckermark, Deutschland - An inviting rest area on the bike path between Prenzlau and Röpersdorf, which is popular with locals and tourists because of its wonderful view of the city silhouette of Prenzlau and the opportunity to bathe in the Uckersee, increasingly turns into a dangerous dump. This concern is currently expressed in the reports of Nordkurier is pointed out.

The rest area, equipped with seating, bicycle stands and garbage containers, is used by many when the weather is nice. But after weekends and public holidays, the reality looks different: the garbage containers are often overcrowded, and the waste left, such as broken glass and remains, are not only a nuisance, but also a serious danger to animals. A Prenzlauer cannot understand the behavior of visitors who simply leave their garbage behind and wonders where the consideration remains.

Environmental pollution from tourism

The increase in tourism not only brings with it joy in exploring new places, but also considerable challenges. According to Informational worldwide is a rapidly growing industry that is associated with an increase in garbage production. In many popular holiday regions, tourists leave their garbage on beaches and in forests, which damages ecosystems and endangered the wildlife.

Even in the vicinity of Prenzlau, these problems are not unknown. The city recognized the problem; Silke Liehher, head of the business development department, tourism and properties, confirms that the city is reacting to the grievances: the cleaning dock is increased in certain areas, and the citizens are called on to dispose of the garbage itself.

Appeal to parishioners and tourists

"Leaving the places clean is important for all of us," said Liebher. In addition to thanks to those who independently eliminate garbage, a clear appeal to all visitors will also be addressed to take responsibility. If you don't stick to it, you have to expect punishments. Notes on dirt can be reported directly to the city.

The fact that tourism not only has positive but also negative effects on the environment also illustrates an investigation by Environmental Federal. In addition to garbage problems, this also names wastewater problems that arise from inadequate disposal and enormous packaging material. A conscious handling of environmental resources and a better infrastructure for waste disposal are therefore essential to protect the positive effects of tourism and to minimize the negative consequences.
