ECO-FRIENDLY TRAVEL TIPS by Carissa Sadler
Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, the old travel adage is no longer “Take only pictures, leave only footprints.” Here are 10 easy ecotourism tips that will help you travel more responsibly and make a positive impact on indigenous climate, nature, wildlife and culture.
1. Pack Light Scan QR & Enter promo code: TH to buy now at substantial savings! Cannot be combined with other offers. No Limit. Exp 12-31-17.
1006 North US Hwy 27, Weston, FL
Less is more. The weight of luggage weighs in on the environment. Pack light and pack items that can be worn multiple times and hand washed quickly and dried quickly during your trip.

2. Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
RECREATION PARK 888.4.AIRBOAT (888.424.7262)
Participate in eco-friendly transportation options like biking, walking, trains, ferries and public transits. It will also add to a green travel experience by providing opportunities to interact with locals.
3. Avoid Waste
JUST ONE TOUCH AND THE BOND IS FOREVER. One beautiful harbor. One inquisitive dolphin. And one incredible moment that will change the way you see the world... and yourself. Come to Miami’s sea life conservation place and see for yourself. For reservations, call 305-365-2501 or book online today.

For a few green travel tips, pack a reusable BPA-free water bottle you can refill instead of plastic water bottles that end up in our landfills. Don’t just toss your trash away, hold onto it until you find the recycle bin. For souvenirs to tote, use reusable cloth bags while shopping.
4. Use Rechargeable Batteries For your camcorders and cameras, bring a charger and rechargeable batteries. Disposable batteries leach toxic chemicals into the earth.
5. Be a Smarter Shopper This starts when you book your green travel itinerary. Look for destinations that make preservation and sustainability a priority. Travel local; cut out runway time by just one fivehour flight and your carbon footprint will be a lot lighter. www.travelhost.com
From the moment you arrive, a new sense for adventure sets in. You feel as bold as a liger. As playful as an orangutan. You can hang out with a cassowary, and your new best friend is a lemur. From rare animal encounters to private VIP tours, Jungle Island is where you go to connect—with your wild side.

6. Plan for Eco-Friendly Lodging Before booking a hotel, consider choosing eco-friendly lodging. Many hotels are using alternative forms of green energy through third party certifications such as ISO 14001, Green Key, Green Globe, LEED building certification, and state certification programs. While those may not always be guaranteed, stay at an off-grid hotel to save roughly 37 pounds of CO2 per day or a property off the oceanfront as it won’t contribute to beach erosion.
7. Save Energy & Water Consider conserving water by taking shorter showers and reuse sheets and towels for multiple days. Conserve energy by turning the lights off in the hotel room when you leave and place the “Do Not Disturb” sign on the door so that housekeeping won’t clean your room every day.
8. Eat Local If the foods you consume haven’t been flown or trucked in, you’re saving significant emissions. Make every effort you can to seek out and support local businesses that grow, sell and serve locally-sourced ingredients.
9. Turn Off Screen Time Apart from those crucial travel apps, keep screen time to a minimum. Instead, consult with locals or hotel concierges about directions, which would be more stimulating than staring at some app on your phone.
10. Stick to the Rules Be mindful when visiting and leave nature in its natural environment. Leave nothing behind and do not remove anything like flowers, shells, coral or rocks. When hiking, always stay on marked trails and maintain a safe distance from any animals you encounter.
