We help to save trees – products made of recyclable materials

We present a new promo-production of our Programme to your consideration. The whole production is made of recycled materials in order to preserve trees of our Planet. On the reverse side of the notepad there is a special sticker – “I protect nature!”. The owner of the notepad has full moral right to use this sticker if he/she fulfilled at least one of the recommendations mentioned at the beginning of the notepad:

• Close opened cocks, don’t let water flow for nothing. Up to 15 litres of water drains out every minute from the opened cock. Around 1000 litres will drip out in an hour.
• Close the water while cleaning teeth, shaving or soaping. If you close a sink drain with a plug while shaving, you will consume around 4-5 litres and even less, instead of 45 litres which you would consume with the opened water head. You economize around 18 litres of water by closing the cock during your teeth cleaning.
• Turn off the light if you leave your home! Turn off the light if you don’t need it! Each waste kilowatt means greenhouse gases emitted to the atmosphere.
• Install power efficient lamps everywhere. They will save money and electricity and therefore reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
• Despite of the fact that plastic packages are more convenient than paper ones, they pollute the Environment and their production is toxic. A plastic package is decomposing in the nature for decades. When you go to the supermarket, make it a habit to take a bag and use as less plastic packages as possible.
• If you can do it, if you are not in a hurry and if you do not have to go far, use public transport. If we divide the amount of fuel to the number of transportable people, the public transport spends fuel many times less. Use bicycles or walk as often as you can! It is useful for your health and for the nature.
• Clean the air filter in your car as often as possible, unload your car: each extra kilogram means extra fuel consumption, change the oil in time, make sure your wheels are always pumped and CO emissions are at the minimum, even if you lose a little power. Ask yourself this question: do I want to be a racer and drive fast or do I want to benefit the planet?
• Do not buy wild animals/birds and wild plants torn and sold along the roads. Doing this you stimulate their destruction again and again. You should know that they have their own function in the nature.
• Warm your house. The better your house is insulated, the less fuel is needed to warm it, so – the fewer emissions will be made into the atmosphere.
