Nous sommes tous des voyageurs, mais avec 715 millions d'arrivées internationales annuelles dans le monde, l'empreinte carbone devient de plus en plus importante. Nous voulions partager quelques conseils pour minimiser votre impact sur l’environnement sans sacrifier votre envie de voyager.
PENDANT LES ÉTAPES DE PLANIFICATION :
• Select eco-friendly lodging. Do a little research and find a good green company. Things to look for include: recycling programs and hotel principles that reduce consumption (ie they use energy-conscious products) • Instead of renting a car, book a hotel with close public transportation that you can utilize during your visit. • Check-in to your flight online and use an electronic ticket. This helps reduce paper waste.
AVANT DE PARTIR :
• Pack lighter. By being picky, you take the necessities and avoid over packing that can create excess trash. • If you aren't aware, appliances that remain plugged in, even in the off mode, will use energy. Prior to leaving, unplug unnecessary appliances like your TV. • Set your water heater and thermostat low for the duration of your trip so it isn't wasted.
PENDANT VOTRE VOYAGE :
• Reuse towels during your stay to conserve water. • Turn appliances and the lights off when you leave your room. • Use re-chargeable batteries. • If you're hiking, stay on the main trail. Doing so will help preserve the area and helps avoid destroying the vegetation. • Don't remove wildlife from its natural habitat. This includes small things like flowers or coral. • Try to recycle even if it may be inconvenient.
APRÈS LE VOYAGE :
• Give feedback to your hotel or tour guides concerning their eco-friendly habits. Let them know you appreciate their efforts. • Share your tips on responsible travelling to friends and family. If you're gearing up for your next adventure,
