Go Green Travel!

Green travel become more and more popular lately, I found an article about green travel, I would like to share it with you guys here, because this is quite important.

The definition of green travel is to be a responsible traveler; you will never know what you can do to protect the environment. The first thing you can do when you go on a green travel, which is to choose a green hotel.  You could surf on the Internet and find out what kind of recycling program they are using before you go there, for example, do they have saving water system? Bring toiletries by yourself; try our best not using the prepackaged one at hotel, because those bottles need a lot of plastic.  Try our best not take long shower, because that is the best way for saving water.

  When we are leaving the room, turn the light, air conditioning, television, or heater off.

  When you were at outdoor, bring a water bottle by yourself; and try your best to find a drinking fountain, instead keep buying water.

  When renting a car, try to get most fuel-efficient one, try not drive so fast, if you do so you will use less fuel. But the most eco-friendly way is to take transportation; I know it is very hard, because not every place have transportation. When we are going to city sightseeing, we can just walk or bike if possible.
  Ecotourism is really important, if every tourist willing to do so, we will have better environment, moreover, the future generations can also experience the wonderful environment we have today.

Ecotourism means to support conservation efforts and observe wildlife.
Eco-firendly means not harmful to the environment.
Toiletries are the articles used in washing or taking care our body.  
  Pictures are from Google. I love watching sunrise and sunset, because I consider those time are the most beautiful moment during a day.
