The idea of eco-friendly travel is to travel around the world and have a low impact on the environment. Sustainable tourism is also becoming significant as the number of people concerned with climate change and pollution increases. It takes only conscious travelers to make a tremendous difference when it comes to making greener choices: ones of transportation and accommodation, packing patterns, and the encounter with the local people. Minor adjustments (such as using reusable products or patronizing local eco-enterprises) would produce big positive effects in terms of waste. Through mindful travel, you will be able to preserve the beauty of the planet to the generations yet you will not miss any adventure.
When renting, use public transport, bicycles or walking as an alternative to using private vehicles. Buses and trains produce much less carbon emission than planes and taxis do. When travelling further, you can use carbon-offset schemes or travel on airlines that make sustainable investments.
This is because eco-certified hotels or homestays that utilize renewable energy, recycle waste, and save water can be found. Others eco-resorts go to the extent of cultivating their own food and organic materials. Such stays should be facilitated to help in advancing green tourism.
Light weight traveling lowers costs on fuel. Prefer to go with reusable products such as metal water bottles, cloth bags, bamboo toothbrushes and containers that can be refilled to reduce the use of plastic. Use no single use products and put in clothes of sustainable material such as cotton or linen.
Purchase gifts produced by the local craftsmen and dine in locally-owned restaurants with organic products. This does not only help in reducing your carbon footprint, but also helps in building the local economy and the maintenance of culture authenticity.
Do not disturb wild animals, take shells and plants as souvenirs. Please stick to the marked trails, do not litter and never use harmful sunscreens that harm the coral reefs. Always ensure that you leave the environment in a better condition.
Enhance the principle of leave no trace. Proper disposal of waste, recycling and use of compost products whenever possible. Any little step will make the planet healthier.
