personal habits we can instill in our travel. This is not only for ourselves but for the planet and other humans (YOUR descendants) not yet here. Let’s not leave a dump.
According to Dailymail.com in 2014 (1.1) Billion people traveled. Hmm wow!  Here’s a breakdown from the Statistic Brain Research Insitute showing where everyone is traveling. Really interesting numbers.

What is the impact? ​

You guessed it Aviation is a big one yet currently to get somewhere far away air travel is needed unless you have a lot of time to sail or walk there. There are ways to help I’ll cover in a few. Wouldn’t it be cool if the outside of airplanes where solar panels running at least “some” of the planes energy needs? This article says solar power won’t work to fly a plane well it could at least help some of the energy needs and science is always evolving! I’m going to be optimistic 

What can you do? A LOT!!

Eco Tourism is not just once you land. 
Here are straight forward action steps that all add up. “Butterfly Affect” The website Greatist has a great post “Everything You Need to Know About Traveling Green” showing many ways to make a difference before you even leave home and while on your trip. Even the smallest Conservation Actions do make a difference one being you and your families quality of life.

Here are 7 Eco Travel tips to start with…click on the link above for a more extension list: 
  1. Travel/Pack light while packing think do I really need this? Will I be able to buy this while on my trip? How many clothes do you really need for the beach? etc…
  2. Unplug many if not all your electronics.
  3. Bring usable water bottle(s).
  4. Take public transport to the airport.
  5. Once in you new location walk if it’s not far. Hold on realize this allows you to see/check out your new surroundings vs heading straight to your accomodation. I personally go for a run if possible to quickly get my energy back and look around to learn the lay of the land.
  6. Take public transport or walk once at your new location. Get there and meet locals.
  7. Tell your accomodations to change the sheets/towels, etc.. when you request. Do you change sheets everyday at home? I hope not.
Remember this is not all about you or me.It’s more about leaving a Healthy Planet for future generations. Eco Tourism is a great way to start.
