Responsible travel isn't as black as you painted

Hey guys!

In my previous entries I was writing a lot about travelling per se. Many people are keen on travelling and they go abroad every vacation. But today’s questions is if this action is eco-friendly and good for the environment? Only if they rules of responsible travelling  are obeyed. That’s why I’d like to explain it to you more or less.

Responsible travelling is the way of travelling which helps preserving our environment. It maximizes the benefits of the society and reduces the failures and negative effects. We need to tackle a lot of environmental problems e.g. global warming or soil erosion. This new idea is to countervail the negative externalities of consumption. Some ideas are to travel local - don’t take a plane and choose your destinations wisely, nearby. In order to decrease emission of carbon dioxide is to go on holidays fewer but for longer trips. It may be beneficial also for us We can rest more and be ready for new challenges at work. Planes use less fuel when they’re lighter, hence we should pack the least amount of  clothes and bring only what’s necessary. While on holiday we shouldn’t buy products made of endangered species. Use public transport and respect local cultures. That way we can feel the wonderful atmosphere of the place. Even though a 5* hotel costs arm and a leg, we should NEVER feel like wasting water by taking one-hour showers or opening tap for brushing our teeth. Other advise is to use travel agent certified by Green Seal, because the know how to care of environment. After you come back, donate local communities or even buy credits to offset your carbon dioxide footprint.

In my opinion, it  is a great opportunity to preserve the environment. Our descendants will be able to receive the inheritance from us. Every time I go on vacation, I obey the responsible travelling and I feel much better, when I know that I take part in saving out planet!
