TRAVEL GUIDE
Doing your part as an Eco Chic Traveler
Vacationing with
a Conscience
With global warming and environmental issues plaguing
our earth, we can all do our part to minimise our carbon
footprint on Mother Nature. If you have already started
doing your part to recycle at home and in the office,
why not take it a step further and look to conserve the
environment while you go on vacation?
Here are some simple things any traveller can do
to make a difference when on a holiday.
C Electronic transactions waste less paper. Opt to go paperless
like buying e-ticket for airline travel and saving your flight
itineraries in your PDAs, Smart Phones, or Blackberries.
Request for paperless check ins/outs.
C For shorter trips, take the trains instead of flying - especially in
Europe or places where the train service is fast and frequent.
C Start appreciating walking tours and walk
where you can. You’ll burn some calories
while at it, and who knows, you might
discover a new shopping spot, java joint or
juice bar on your trek.
C Try to make use of public buses or transit systems when
available. It will give you a chance to mingle with locals and
finally make use of the electronic translator you purchased.
C Support the use of hybrid vehicles, or transportation powered
by natural gas.
