Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
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.
