So reisen Sie nachhaltiger: Ideen für umweltfreundlicheres Reisen

Weniger fliegen und in der nahen Umgebung bleiben, ist die umweltfreundlichste Art zu reisen. Aber was ist, wenn es uns doch in die Ferne zieht? In diesem Fall können einige bewusste Änderungen an den Reiseplänen unsere Auswirkungen minimieren und unsere Beziehung zu unserem Planeten stärken. Hier finden Sie unsere Tipps zum nachhaltigen Reisen. Wenn Sie speziell nach Ideen für Familienreisen suchen, scrollen Sie ganz nach unten.

Die perfekte Destination

Tagesausflüge sind und bleiben die umweltfreundlichste Reiseoption – ganz ohne Flüge und Übernachtung. Beim Besuch von nahegelegenen Städten und Dörfern können wir unsere eigene Geschichte und Kultur neu entdecken. Auch eine kurze Zug- oder Autofahrt in den Wald oder an die Küste kann für eine erfrischende Auszeit gut sein.

Falls das Fernweh doch zu gross wird, wählen Sie ein Ziel, an dem Nachhaltigkeit gross geschrieben wird. Wenden Sie sich an lokale Touristenorganisationen oder suchen Sie im Internet nach den „grünsten“ Städten und Ländern. Die Art und Definition von Nachhaltigkeit kann jedoch variieren, also nehmen Sie sich die Zeit, jene Aspekte zu finden, die Sie am meisten ansprechen. Für einige hat gute Luftqualität Priorität, andere möchten alles zu Fuss erkunden oder lokale Bauernmärkte entdecken.

Weniger bekannte Destinationen oder Ausflüge in der Nebensaison gestalten das Reisen ebenfalls bewusster. Passt Öko-Volunteering zu Ihren Urlaubsvorstellungen? Viele Organisationen haben Programme zum Schutz und Erhalt der Natur, bei denen Besucher mithelfen können.

Beim nachhaltigen Reisen geht es allerdings nicht nur um den CO₂-Fussabdruck, sondern auch um lokale Communitys. Die Menschen an Ihrem Reiseziel haben grosses Interesse daran, ihre Umwelt zu erhalten. Die direkteste Unterstützung ist immer noch Geld. Suchen Sie Unterkünfte, Reiseleiter und Reiseführer, die nachhaltige Standards bezüglich Arbeitsbedingungen, Inklusivität und Auswirkungen auf die lokale Community einhalten. Wenn Sie bei lokalen Unternehmen einkaufen, bleibt das Geld in der Region.

Onde ficar

Muitos serviços de hospitalidade já integraram responsabilidade ambiental e social a seus modelos de negócios. Alguns locais estabelecidos possuem certificações ecológicas. Porém, isso não significa que acomodações locais, como hospedagens familiares e estadias em fazendas também não sejam ecológicas.

Também existem sites de busca de acomodações que plantam árvores para cada reserva feita, ou que doam parte do lucro para projetos de responsabilidade social e sustentabilidade em áreas locais.

Casas pequeninas, chalés de madeira e barracas são ecológicos por natureza e causam menos impacto ambiental. A prática de trocar de casas é outra opção de baixo custo e mais sustentável.

Como chegar até lá

Os meios mais sustentáveis de viajar dependem de diversas variáveis. Pode-se dizer que viagens de trem ou ônibus são mais sustentáveis do que viagens de avião ou de carro. Dos meios de transporte, os que mais poluem são os de voos curtos, porque o consumo de combustível é maior durante a decolagem e a aterrissagem.

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.

O que levar na mala

Fazer a mala de modo consciente pode parecer apenas uma pequena contribuição para viagens sustentáveis, mas mesmo as pequenas escolhas podem ter grandes impactos.

Vale a pena considerar o uso de protetor solar e produtos para cuidados com a pele que não contenham produtos químicos, depois que o Havaí proibiu os protetores solares contendo oxibenzona e octinoxato em 2018. Cientistas descobriram que esses produtos químicos aumentam a taxa de branqueamento dos corais, além de prejudicar o seu crescimento.

Para diminuir o uso de plásticos não recicláveis quando você estiver na estrada, leve garrafas d’água reutilizáveis, xícaras de café, recipientes para o lanche e sua própria cutelaria. Também existem diversas alternativas ecologicamente corretas para artigos de higiene pessoal em miniatura para viagem. Procure trocar o gel de banho por sabonete, e frascos de xampu por xampu em barra. Descubra desodorante em formato de creme e escova de dente feita de material biodegradável.

Para finalizar a mala, será preciso usar algo funcional e cheio de estilo para guardar todos esses itens. Acessórios leves fazem com que a viagem seja fácil e agradável, de modo que a fabricação de itens com qualidade garantem longevidade ao produto. Afinal de contas, ser durável é ser sustentável.

Tips on Sustainable Travel for Families

Many parents view traveling sustainably a crucial part of teaching the next generation about the importance of protecting our planet. The ToptoTop expedition are a huge source of inspiration for us and we are one of their official sponsors as they travel across the planet, educating everyone they meet about climate change.

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”.

Tips from Kids

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”.
