DECALOGUE OF SUSTAINABLE GOOD PRACTICES
intended for residents and visitors of the Baix Llobregat
| Enjoy and respect |
The aim of this decalogue is to encourage good behavior and good practices among the public who visit the Baix Llobregat with special emphasis on respect for the attractions and the population of our destination.
1. AT NIGHT, LOW THE VOLUME!
Around the squares and while enjoying the night on a terrace, don’t shout. Do not use music amplifiers. And when you leave the entertainment venue, avoid concentrating with more people in the narrow squares or streets, the neighbourhood trying to sleep will thank you.
2. THE STREET IS FOR EVERYONE, BEHAVE WITH CORRECTION!
· The consumption of alcohol and drugs in public spaces is prohibited.
· Do not go without clothes on the street.
· Use public toilets, be civic.
· Take care of the street furniture, it belongs to us all.
3. LESS WASTE AND MORE RECYCLING
As travellers we have a responsibility to generate as little waste as possible and recycle as much as we can using the nearest recycling bins.
If garbage collection is door-to-door pickup, pick up organic and street trash at the scheduled time.
4. PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Whenever possible, public transport or shared transport systems should be used.
The private vehicle is also a source of greenhouse gases, so if used, we must drive efficiently and make the most of its occupants.
5. ZERO TOLERANCE IN SEXIST ATTITUDES
We promote zero tolerance for any form of sexist aggression against women.
6. RESPECT CULTURAL AND NATURAL HERITAGE
The cultural and natural heritage is unique and unrepeatable, so we must take care of its conservation.
It helps to preserve it in the best conditions and not degrade it.
In places of worship such as churches you must maintain a civic and respectful behaviour, complying with established rules and limitations.
7. DON’T WASTE ENERGY
Don’t worry about spending on water or electricity with the excuse that we already have everything paid for.
With this energy waste we are harming the territory we have travelled to and the planet in general.
8. LOCAL CONSUMPTION
Consume products and services typical of the area and that stimulate its economy and sustainable tourism, that is, that involve other people and companies in the territory.
For example, eating in restaurants that offer dishes made with native Baix Llobregat products, enjoying the festivities and traditions, staying in establishments managed with sustainable practices, or contributing to the local economy by buying souvenirs.
9. RESPECT THE LOCAL POPULATION
Travelling implies relating, and for this it is necessary to know, understand and try to adapt to the character, habits, norms and customs of the place we visit. We must avoid imposing our lifestyle where we travel.
Find out about the culture, politics and economics of the communities you visit in order to respect their traditions.
The ultimate goal is for there to be an enriching cultural exchange for everyone, allowing local cultures not to get lost and the traveller to learn about them.
10. VISIT US ALL YEAR ROUND
Thanks to the climate and the great diversity of attractions of the Baix Llobregat, remember that you can visit us throughout the year!
In this way you help us to be a sustainable destination. The seasonal adjustment of tourism encourages the activity to be economically viable and, furthermore, sustainable.
