Como ser um viajante mais sustentável: Ideias para sua jornada ser mais ecológica
Aonde ir
Se o seu desejo é viajar internacionalmente, escolha um destino que esteja comprometido com a sustentabilidade. Recorrendo a empresas de turismo locais ou com uma rápida busca na internet, você terá uma lista com as cidades e países mais ecológicos para visitar. A forma como cada um mede a sustentabilidade é diferente, então reserve um tempinho para definir quais aspectos das políticas de sustentabilidade fazem mais sentido para você. Alguns medem a boa qualidade do ar, outros se concentram nas altas pontuações de lugares em que é possível fazer caminhadas ou no número de pequenos agricultores locais.
Selecionar destinos menos badalados ou viajar fora da temporada é outra maneira de viajar com consciência. Você também pode acrescentar alguma atividade ecológica voluntária em sua agenda de viagem. Muitas organizações possuem programas que ajudam a proteger e a preservar ambientes naturais com a colaboração de visitantes à área.
As viagens sustentáveis não servem só para reduzir sua pegada de carbono; elas também estão ligadas ao cuidado e ao apoio a comunidades locais. As populações locais têm um grande incentivo para preservar as próprias comunidades. Uma das maneiras mais diretas de impactar positivamente as pessoas e os lugares que visita é com seu dinheiro. Procure acomodações, operadores de turismo e guias que mantenham padrões sustentáveis com relação aos direitos dos trabalhadores, inclusão e impacto nas comunidades locais. Gastar dinheiro em negócios locais assegura que mais dinheiro fique nas mãos daqueles que vivem em seu destino.

Dónde quedarse
También hay servicios de búsqueda de alojamiento que plantan árboles por cada reservación que se realiza o donan una porción de sus ganancias a proyectos sociales y sustentables en áreas locales.
Las casa pequeñas, las cabañas de troncos y las carpas son ecológicas por naturaleza y tienen menor impacto ambiental. El intercambio de casas es otra opción de bajo costo que provoca un menor impacto ambiental.

É justo concluir que qualquer viagem inferior a 500 km deve primeiro ser considerada de trem ou carro. Vários sites úteis podem ajudar você a calcular e comparar as emissões e o consumo de energia por viagem de avião, trem e carro.

Qu’est-ce qu’on emporte ?
Les écrans solaires et les soins pour la peau sans produits chimiques méritent d’être envisagés après qu’Hawaï a interdit les écrans solaires contenant de l’oxybenzone et de l’octinoxate en 2018. Les scientifiques ont découvert que ces produits chimiques accroissent le blanchiment des coraux et nuisent à leur croissance.
Pour réduire l’utilisation de plastique à usage unique sur la route, voyagez avec des bouteilles d’eau, des tasses à café, des couverts et des contenants réutilisables. Il existe également de nombreuses alternatives écologiques aux produits de toilette de voyage classiques qui sont néfastes pour l’environnement. Troquez par exemple votre gel douche contre du savon et votre shampooing liquide contre une version solide. Essayez les déodorants en crème et les brosses à dents conçues en matériaux biodégradables.
Et pour garder tout cela à l’abri et bien organisé, optez pour une solution à la fois fonctionnelle et élégante. Des bagages légers vous assurent un voyage facile et agréable, tandis qu’une construction de qualité vous garantit une bonne longévité. Après tout, lorsque les objets durent dans le temps, c’est aussi meilleur pour l’environnement.

Tips on Sustainable Travel for Families
The family consists of Dario, a climatologist, and Sabine, a nurse, along with their six children. With their eldest daughter, Salina, already an accomplished public speaker, the children are just as powerful ambassadors for sustainable living as their parents. As Dario and Sabine point out: “We have found that our message is much more effective when our children talk to their peers”. Their own experiences were at the forefront of their minds as this well-traveled and adventurous family sat down together to share with us their tips for sustainable travel.
Take Your Time
“It’s crucial that you adapt yourself to the rhythm of nature” says Dario, “If you have only a limited amount of time, you might rush your plans. Maybe you’ll disregard an avalanche warning with hazardous consequences”. Dario recalls the time the family sailed across the Atlantic ocean, where they were often accompanied by whales or dolphins, to the delight of the children. “If you flew over this ocean, as most people do, you would totally miss out on this magical experience” points out Dario. Although not everyone has the luxury of time, you can still apply this mentality to your two week holiday.
Never Too Young To Learn
Whether experiencing your own country or traveling abroad, it’s never too young to learn an appreciation for nature. As Dario says, “Kids who swim in rivers or lakes in Switzerland will grow up to be adults who fight passionately to protect these rivers and lakes”. Dario hopes that the global work of the ToptoTop expedition will have the same effect: “The seals on Robinson Crusoe Island in Chile are often hunted by fishermen. We took a group of local schoolchildren swimming with the seals and it was an amazing experience for everyone, I am pretty sure that these children will not grow up to be fishermen who hunt and kill these beautiful animals”.
Less Is More
Equally good for you is traveling light, according to Dario. “We once cycled for a week between settlements in Australia, with two small children. This experience taught us how to reduce what we took with us down to the absolute minimum, so we could carry all the water that we needed”. The family believes traveling with only minimal possessions adds a certain lightness not just to your luggage but also to your soul. “We learned that the less we took, the less we needed to worry about what we had forgotten”. Do the kids ever get bored with the few toys they are allowed to take on the boat? “Absolutely not!” laughs Dario. “The fewer toys they have, the more creative and curious they become. Nature is after all the best teacher”.
Combine Travel with a Mission
Although not everyone wants to dedicate their holidays to a volunteering project, it is still possible to have a positive impact on your destination when you travel: “Whether you are on a tropical beach or a mountain hike, take a bag with you and pick up any litter you find on the way”. Dario affirms that this simple and effective way of helping is something that he and his family love to do. “Nature is so generous, she gives us so much – from stunning scenery to peaceful moments” says Dario. “When you pick up litter, it’s like you are giving something back to nature”.
Share Experiences with Others
For the Schwörers, respecting nature and respecting the people you meet go hand in hand. It’s all part of their philosophy of traveling slowly: “When you don’t rush, you have more time to meet people, to make a connection and to learn from others” says Dario. “This can only improve your experience and most importantly expand your knowledge, helping you to learn the importance of protecting our planet”.
