Traveling Green Starts With You
Transportation
Reduce your energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Whenever possible, make transportation choices that reduce your Carbon Footprint, and offset the CO2 that you do emit by contributing to Multiple-Benefit afforestation. If you truly care about the environment, plant a tree!
Your Pocketbook
Do not purchase illegally traded animals, plants or products. Instead, buy locally produced foods and handicrafts and support native communities.
Respect Local Culture
Learn about local history and traditions; Find positive ways to experience local culture.
Follow the Rules
Become familiar with local rules, and, when in nature, do not approach, hunt or otherwise endanger wildlife. Also, do not catch wild fish or pick wild plants, and take precautions to prevent wildfires and protect your personal safety.
Conserve and Prevent Waste
>Bring your own reusable bags and containers, and use eco-friendly bathing products when you travel. Make sure not to litter, throw away batteries, or use plastic bags.
>Traveling Green simply means taking responsibility for your impact on the environment, but you can also help conservation workers monitor wildlife and share the importance of protecting nature with others.
>Recording your travels can produce many benefits. Through the lens of your camera, you can capture the beauty of your experiences, provide important information to conservation workers, and create a wonderful canvas to share the importance of protecting nature with others.
Calculate your CO2+Plant Trees = Less Climate Change and a Happier Earth
>Realize your potential to reduce energy use, decrease CO2 emissions and protect forests by using the carbon calculator. The ability of trees to absorb CO2 and slow down the trend of climate change makes worldwide afforestation a necessary part of the solution.
>Carbon Calculator：
China’s first carbon calculating/tree planting online platform; you can easily find out CO2 emissions from a flight, driving, or from energy use at home or work, as well as discover how many trees you would need to plant to offset your emissions. The tree planting computation is based on the fact that, over 30 years, a fir tree can absorb 111kg of CO2.
