TRAVEL GREEN

Travel and tourism are very important to millions of people all over the world. In every country you can find people that work in travel and tourism. Some countries need the money from tourism to help their people survive. It is necessary for these places that travel and tourism continue to expand and bring money to their regions.

However, travel and tourism have negative aspects. Planes, buses, boats and other means of transportation that carry travelers and tourists cause pollution. Moreover, some people do things on a holiday they would never think of doing at home. For example, many travelers use a lot of water and electricity when they stay in hotels. They forget to turn off the lights or even leave televisions and air conditioning units on when they leave the room. On top of that, it is often difficult or impossible for travelers to recycle items, so they end up leaving large amounts of waste behind. That’s why it is important for people to travel wisely and respect the places they visit.

There are ways you can travel and be environmentally friendly. Here are some tips to help you:

*Don’t throw rubbish on streets, beaches or in the countryside. Use bins. Don’t throw anything into the sea, especially plastic bags and bottles. Every year many turtles and other sea animals die after swallowing plastic bags.

*Don’t use too much water or electricity. Many parts of the world have not got enough water.

*Taste the local and national dishes of the country. This is an important part of your experience and can be lots of fun, while supporting local farming.

*Buy local products or souvenirs. This helps people keep their jobs and will help you remember your trip and share the experience with friends and family.

*Don’t buy any products made from endangered species; sea turtle shells or bags made from reptiles or other animals. It’s illegal! Don’t buy seashells, sea sponges or marine plants. Don’t take anything from the sea.
