Environmentally Friendly Travelling Tips

The big question above is based on the fact that the more frequent trips to do it will be the more natural resources are used. It is also related to how much pollution is generated, how much waste is generated, and how large the perceived environmental damage.

The number of trips taken by the world's population in each month. Whether it's by plane, ship, train or private vehicle, all of which use gasoline as a source of energy. Then, how many hotels and inns to provide rooms - rooms are brightly - lit pencahayaannnya and how much energy is used for purposes other electronic equipment.

Vacation / trip is exciting, but unwittingly trip can give a bad impact on the environment, especially in terms of carbon emissions. Moreover, not infrequently a tourist area that previously has stunning scenery, damaged by the visit of the travelers who do not care about nature conservation in the tourism site.


What to consider before leaving for a tour?

1. Determine the destination.

This point becomes one of the considerations for how far the journey we will take, how much stock we prepare, transport what will we use, and where we will stay that determines how much the use of natural resources that we will use.

2. Determine the means of transportation.

If you've set goals, then we consider what means of transportation will we use. If you can by using public transport, then use public transport. If you can use the bus or train so no need to use the aircraft. Because it uses more and more aircraft emissions of carbon gas is wasted and it will have an impact on global warming. But if forced to use a plane, find a direct flight to the destination.

3. Bring lunch.

Who do not travel far enough we can prepare packed meals from home to eat during the trip.

4. Check the condition of the house before it left.

Before leaving home make sure the power lines, water, gas stove and hoses are in a dead condition.
What we do during the tourist sites?


Some of the above items are at least standards that into consideration before we travel. Furthermore, when we had arrived at the destination there are several things we need to consider are:

● Select Hotel / eco-friendly lodging. Hotel / eco-friendly lodgings in question is that having a sewage treatment is good enough (organic & inorganic), preserve the environment by allowing the hotel including the birds that are flying free, caring for plants / trees that can bring the birds and most employees are from local residents. Why are local residents, because if the majority of employees are people around the use of fuel to get to the workplace will be reduced, reducing wasted gas emissions into the air.

● If you eat outside the hotel, choose a restaurant that has a menu of local cuisine. Why cuisine lolal chosen, because it does not require cooking lolal material taken from distant places, which requires a lot of fuel to bring it.

● If wrapped, pack foods that do not choose to use stereofoam as a wrapper. Because stereofoam a wrapping material that can not be recycled.

● Bring a drink refill. By bringing water bottles to refill then you will Formatting reduce waste from bottled water.

● Bring a towel / napkin that can be used repeatedly. Minimize the use of tissue, as more and more tissue / paper is used, the more trees are cut.

● Bring toiletries (shampoo, soap, toothpaste, lotion itself) so it does not need to buy more at the tourist sites, it will also reduce waste.

● Dispose of garbage in the space provided.

● If buying souvenirs buy a local nature, which is produced by local people because if you buy local goods rather than the cost of bringing goods from distant places and the use of fuel will also increase. It adds to greenhouse gas emissions into the air. Also do not buy souvenirs made from animal body parts. Because if there is a buyer, then there will be a dead animal to be used as souvenir.

● Use a digital camera, do not use a photo camera company. Because the results of a digital camera we can choose to print, in contrast with the camera directly, if we do not match then it will ask again photographed. While this will add to the trash, but also wasteful costs.

● Bring your own shopping bags. By bringing your own shopping bag, then you reduce the use of waste plastic / paper.

● If it is not required, no need to request a receipt. Because the shopping receipt will eventually be discarded.

● If you get around the city, use public transportation or if it is not far enough teralu walk alone. Walking also will make you healthier.

● If you really want to rent a car, then use a fuel efficient and have low exhaust emissions.

● When using a car, if it does not really matter is the AC power off, open your car glass windows for air circulation to replace the air conditioner. If you must use the AC use at levels not too high, your remedy is important enough, no need to chill.

● Check the air pressure in your tires. Wind pressure on the tires in good condition, was shown to reduce 5% of fuel usage.

● If you rent a car, choose a large capacity, it will reduce the cost of renting and saving fuel.

● Turn off the engine while waiting for relatives to shop.

● Learn how to drive good. Replace gears earlier can reduce fuel consumption up to 15%. If approaching traffic jams or stop lights slowly rather than sudden braking. Avoid driving roughly. Move the gear when it reaches 2500-3000 rpm. And mengemudilah at 1500-3000 rpm limit, some surveys to get satisfactory results in fuel frugality in the range.

Happy tour and thank you for supporting our conservation efforts!
