It's very popular to travel in modem life. As travelers, we should try our best to protect the environment. Here is some advice on how to be a green traveler.
♦Make smarter flight choices
Air travel is not an environmentally-friendly way to travel because it uses a lot of energy. If you must fly, be sure to pack light to cut down the plane's load. And try to book a non-stop flight （预订直达航班）. Connecting flights （转机航班）usually require longer periods of flying and planes will use more energy.
♦Respect （尊重）natural environment
Marked hiking trails （有指示标识的游览步道）are there usually to protect the natural environment and keep wild plants safe. In beach areas, don't use products that are harmful to the sea water and try to protect the ocean's ecosystem.
♦Support locals directly
Buying handmade products and art pieces created by local people can help hand down cultural tradition and create jobs. Food that is grown locally and things that are sold by local families are often better and cheaper, all while helping keep money in local pockets. j
♦Find ways to give back
Consider the ways that you can help the local community and give back while traveling. This can be as simple as picking up litter in a park or volunteering to clean up a beach. If you're planning a trip where volunteering is your main goal, make sure you won't take jobs away from local people.
