While this dietary adaptation has become less important since modern heating became accessible in buildings, the tradition carries on. In addition, the Czech Republic recognizes the impact individuals have on the environment. Through a combination of individual incentives and government promotion, most people in the country consistently take public transit, recycle and reduce their waste and energy usage. These changes have a direct, positive impact on the environment, reducing air pollution, protecting native plants and animals and keeping the region clean from garbage. During my time here, I have learned that these changes are not hard to do but make a huge difference in protecting nature!
