#035 How to Make a Clean Get Away

In this episode, I want to focus on the topics of sustainable travel and ecotourism. Now that travel restrictions are starting to relax, we are all anxious to get out and about, which I totally understand. I know I feel that way as well. But, as we all start to think about travel again, it is important that we make responsible choices and that includes when we travel. 

What I want to do in this episode is first define ecotourism, give you some examples of ecotourism activities, and also give you some resources and some companies and organizations that focus on this type of tourism. I want to put these ideas and principles in your mind so that when you travel, you can do so in a responsible manner and in a sustainable and clean manner. In other words, if you want to get away, then make it a clean get away. Make it a green get away. And make a positive impact on the people and the place to which you travel.  

If you happened to listen to episode #19 The True Impact of Fair Trade, then you know that two thirds of the world makes less than the equivalent of $10 USD/day and 10% of those make less that $1.90/day. So think about that in comparison to your present lifestyle when you travel to another country. 

Be nice. Be respectful. Make a positive impact. Always follow the principles of ecotourism and sustainability.  What that means is if you want to get away then you can make it a clean get away. A green get away. 

And remember to always live sustainably because this is how we build a better future.
