If you’re not doing these things already, give them a go!

• When you’ve finished with your vacation brochures, pass them onto a friend or recycle.

• Buy local produce which reduces air miles incurred in transporting the food to a kitchen for final preparation.

• Respect the local culture and traditions where you are traveling through. Ensure your dress and behavior is appropriate for the places you visit. If you’re unsure, ask your Tour Manager.

• Minimize waste by bringing your own water bottle and reusing it, and refuse or reuse plastic bags when shopping.

• Learn a few words of the local language and ensure the way you dress, eat and greet people is polite according to the local custom.

• Please don’t pick plants and flowers, leave them for others to enjoy.

• At your hotel use water sparingly, take short showers instead of baths and hang towels for drying and reuse.

• Separate paper from plastic and try to recycle as much as possible.

• Throw any litter in the bin and keep the local environment tidy.

• Switch lights & air conditioning off if you are not in the room or don’t need them.

• Turn off your TV instead of leaving it on standby.

• Support a local environmental group and learn more about what you can do.

• Reduce your use and waste of precious resources such as water, food and energy.
