With the arrival of summer, a large number of people strive to go out of town, into nature, to relax on the shore of a lake or river, to fish, or to gather mushrooms and berries. While in the forest or on a body of water, some citizens do not consider it necessary to care about the preservation and cleanliness of nature – they leave litter behind, empty bottles, thereby polluting the environment.
Litter is one of the most visible traces of human presence in the forest. Leaving household waste (paper, cardboard, plastic and glass bottles, etc.) behind, we do not think about the fact that this litter contains various chemical compounds that poison our land, water, air, and harm our health.
All litter should be taken away and disposed of where it is collected and processed. If possible, it is worth cleaning up litter left by other people, especially plastic and glass.

The Rules for conducting fishing and angling in the Republic of Belarus state that anglers engaged in recreational fishing are obliged to maintain the proper sanitary condition of fishing grounds, and not to leave litter and other waste on their banks. When arriving for fishing by car, it must be parked at a distance of 30 meters from the shoreline of the water body. Lessees of fishing grounds are obliged to maintain the proper sanitary condition of the leased fishing grounds.
Violation of the Rules for conducting fishing and angling entails administrative liability provided for by Part 4 of Article 16.25 of the Code of Administrative Offences of the Republic of Belarus, the sanction of which provides for a fine of up to ten basic units, for an individual entrepreneur – up to twenty-five basic units, and for a legal entity – up to fifty basic units.
Citizens who come to fishing grounds simply to relax must also clean up after themselves and treat the conditions created for them with care.
The State Inspectorate reminds you that wherever you stay for recreation: in the forest, by the river, by the lake – observe cleanliness and fire safety rules! Environmental protection is the duty of every citizen of the Republic of Belarus. Take care of yourself by taking care of nature!
It is not clean where they clean, but where they do not litter!
