What is Green Travel?

Green travel hones in on (深入研究,用心打磨) the environmental impact of travel businesses and consumers.Green travelers and travel companies seek to reduce the footprint of their efforts through a wide variety of activities that primarily fall under the 3 R’s: reduce, reuse, and recycle.

Some definitions of green travel incorporate (包含)other aspects of ecotourism (生态旅游), such as respecting locals and their culture and supporting local economy, but the label typically refers to travel that is environmentallyconscious (环保意识) and low-impact.For the traveler, travelling green may be very similar to your habits at home.Travelers can:

●reduce carbon emissions by using public transportation on the ground or offsetting (抵消,补偿) emissions from their flight;

●fill reusable water bottles with boiled or filtered water instead of buying bottled water in countries where the tap water isn’t drinkable;

●take extra efforts to find recycling (再利用) facilities for their plastic and paper waste on the road;

●stay in an environmentally-mindful hotel;

●patronize restaurants that serve local produce (农产品);

●book trips with tour operators that work to lower their environmental footprint.

Beyond their own behavior, it’s important for green travelers to consciously support green businesses with their spending decisions.
