The damage that humanity is inflicting on nature is becoming enormous and increasingly noticeable. Climate change, growing resource consumption, and the accumulation of pollutants are having a devastating impact on nature and, consequently, leading to an increase in health problems on a global scale.
At the same time, each of us can contribute to improving the environment by following simple practices in our daily lives. We encourage you to learn about environmentally friendly ways of living and offer you some easy-to-follow tips that will help you reduce your negative impact on the environment.
NO to plastic. Limit its use.
The unnecessary use of plastic cutlery, straws, and bags causes a large percentage of pollution in nature and leads to the death of thousands of marine creatures that mistake plastic waste for food. It is easy to use cloth bags, glass bottles, reusable dishes, and utensils.
YES propane-butane. Switch to a more environmentally friendly alternative transport fuel.
Autogas is the most widely used alternative to conventional petroleum fuels, gasoline, and diesel. The reason is that propane-butane is one of the most environmentally friendly fuels and has been used in cars for over 70 years. The natural products obtained from the combustion of LPG (liquefied petroleum gas) are carbon dioxide and water vapor. Compared to light fuels, there are no emissions from heavy metal compounds.
By switching to propane-butane as fuel for your car, you will significantly reduce the harmful emissions from your vehicle.

NO to disposing of waste in the toilet bowl. Separate your waste.
Disposing of waste in the toilet bowl is one of the most dangerous decisions for the environment. Everything that is poured down the drain, sink, or toilet can end up in water sources.
Separate your waste and avoid throwing away food.
YES to rechargeable batteries. Do not use disposable batteries.
Investing in rechargeable batteries is worthwhile. They save money and protect the environment, which is greatly threatened by disposable batteries. Solar chargers are now available on the market, so if you are motivated enough, you can draw energy for recharging from nature.
One more thing – it is good to turn off the charger after use. When left on, it continues to consume energy.
NO to indiscriminate use of paper. Replace notebooks and sheets of paper with electronic notes.
Paper is made from wood, and replacing notebooks and sheets of paper with electronic notes on your smartphone or computer will help the environment.
Another good practice you can follow is to avoid printing or, if you must, to use both sides of the paper. It is also advisable to avoid widely used disposable cups (not only plastic ones, but also paper ones).
We believe that everyone can contribute to protecting the environment and we support an eco-friendly lifestyle at home and at work. That is why V-Gas’s activities comply with the latest environmental requirements and European standards.
