A bucket list focused on sustainable travel featuring 1,000 vacation
ideas that are eco-friendly, respectful of local cultures, and highlight
opportunities to give back
A new era of sustainable travel is dawning - more than ever, vacationers
are seeking experiences that are sustainable for the environment,
sensitive of other cultures, make a positive impact, and above all, do
no harm.
Included are a diverse collection of sustainable travel ideas and
eco-friendly destinations for all ages and interests. These experiences
range from volunteering at a wildlife preserve or centering a foodie
getaway around zero-waste to visiting the Eden Project, a series of
biomes and gardens in a reclaimed Cornwall mine designed to raise
ecological awareness with educational programs and agriscaping.
More travelers rank sustainability as a top factor, and this volume is a
reliable, trustworthy resource--sensitively and thoughtfully curated,
free from greenwashing and confusing terminology, it guides readers
towards active, life-affirming, learning activities and new experiences.
Organized geographically, entries fall into broad types--accommodation,
culture, food, nature, volunteering, and wildlife--so readers pinpoint
what suits them best, whether "voluntourism" while studying endangered
silverback gorillas in Uganda, rehabilitating orphaned penguins outside
Cape Town, or visiting an eco-coffee plantation in Puerto Rico.
