Think about how you're impacting the environment when outdoors and the choices you make. Strive to leave a nature spot exactly how you found it; tread the beaten path, don't light fires and take your rubbish home with you. There are other things you can do to be more responsible like bringing a reusable water bottle and a lunch box to avoid the use of single-use plastics and try choosing a green travel option to your destination like walking, cycling or public transport.
