Not infrequently, the tourist area which previously has stunning scenery, broken by the visit of the traveler who does not care about nature conservation in tourist locations. But, we can prevent it by following these 14 tips:
  1. Avoid using the plane traveling to your destination. Strive to use a bus, trains or ships reduce emissions of CO2 emitted.
  2. Use the local public transportation or rent a bicycle, or on foot to enjoying the beauty and the uniqueness of the area we visit beautiful places including hidden.
  3. Buy food at a local shop or restaurant residents. By buying food at the local shop, we have reduced emissions used to transport food from distant locations as well as contributing directly to local communities. Also usually tableware used at the local shop does not use plastic / Styrofoam.
  4. Acquainted with many people on the travel, one way to be able to share vehicles, bedroom and food. When we share the vehicle then we will save CO2 emissions. While we share a bedroom when we save electricity in use, saving soap to wash bed linens, etc.. While sharing food will avoid wastage because the food does not run out and become useless. In addition, the positive effects from sharing is to save travel costs and certainly adds a lot of friends.
  5. Choose local food and drink. In addition to taste food and drink from their hometown, helping local businesses, and also to reduce the CO2 emissions resulting from imported goods.

  7. Bring a box of food and a spoon to eat, which can be used when you want to bring snacks to the inn. This is to avoid food packaging such as plastic, or food boxes.
  8. Bring your own shopping bags to reduce plastic waste when shopping on the go.
  9. Try not to leave garbage in the places we visit. For in remote places such as the small island, which has no scavengers or landfill, we recommend organic waste - such as plastic bottles, food packaging, packaging of instant noodles, boxes of food to be taken along to the mainland or to the city to be given to scavengers .
  10. Do not buy souvenirs potentially destructive nature, such as accessories from shellfish, sea turtles, edelweiss flower, etc.
