3. Sustainable Sightseeing: Making a Positive Impact
In recent years, sustainable and eco-friendly tourism has become more important than ever, with travellers looking for ways to sightsee that are kinder to the environment. Fortunately, it’s never been easier to make a positive impact on the environment while sightseeing:
- Pack lightly and use eco-friendly materials: Take only what you need and avoid unsustainable materials like plastic while packing for your trip. Consider using alternative materials like cloth bags, bamboo straws, and bamboo cutlery to cut down on your environmental footprint.
- Be aware of air pollution: Air pollution is one of the biggest challenges for sustainable tourism. Whenever possible, avoid travelling by plane. If taking a plane is unavoidable, then consider the following travelling strategies to reduce air pollution: flying direct rather than making a connection; book in advance; and spend more days at a destination to reduce air pollution caused by repeated flights.
- Travel off-peak: During peak season, many destinations can become overcrowded and over-touristed. By travelling off-peak, you can avoid this and help to reduce the lasting impact of tourism on the environment.
- Be a conscientious consumer: Consider spending your money at locally-owned businesses which offer local goods, rather than big, multinational brands. This will ensure that the money you spend is going to the local community instead of a global corporation.
- Practice no-trace principles: Discarding rubbish is a big issue in tourist hotspots and can lead to increased plastic pollution. So, try to pack out all your own waste, and if possible pick up any litter you come across on your travels.
By following these tips, you can help to ensure that your sightseeing is sustainable and eco-friendly. Of course, sightseeing isn’t only about making a positive impact on the environment – it should also be enjoyable – but there’s no reason why both these things can’t go hand in hand.
By travelling mindfully and responsibly, you can help to ensure that your sightseeing leaves a positive legacy, both for the global environment, and for the local communities you visit.
4. The Definition of Rest and Relaxation: Treat Yourself to a Green Getaway
If you are looking for a break from everyday life, a green getaway may be just what you need. A green getaway is a vacation focused on natural beauty and experiences—whether it is a camping trip, a stay in a beautiful treehouse, or a day of swimming in a natural spring.
Rest and relaxation is key during your green getaway. Connecting with nature can be incredibly calming and is a great way to slow down and center yourself. Spend time outdoors, observe the wildlife, take in the views, or simply sit in nature and reflect.
Swap your morning coffee run for an early morning stroll instead. Use your senses to take in the beauty that nature has to offer, from the sound of the birds to the soft green grass beneath your feet. Connecting with your environment can be a great way to reduce stress and become mindful of your own breath.
- Take a deep breath and soak in the fresh air.
- Enjoy the tranquillity of the natural sounds around you.
- Find a comfortable spot to sit and take a few moments for yourself.
Embrace the opportunity to be still and take notice of your innermost feelings. Being in nature allows us to connect more deeply with ourselves, and be present in the environment around us. Meditation is a great way to relax and focus our minds. Try a guided meditation app or podcast to help you find peace within your surroundings.
Allow yourself permission to take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Get away from the everyday routine and take some time for yourself. A green getaway is the perfect way to restore balance and bring peace to your life.
Tired of feeling like you’re a cog in the planet’s destruction machine? Going on green getaways is one way to travel responsibly and care for the planet by developing a relationship with it rather than taking from it. May your journey be full of new experiences and delight for everyone involved—including Mother Earth.
