Green Tourism – Building Spaceships?
If present global trends go unchecked the human population would need 3 Earth-sized planets to sustain our current consumption patterns, but…
……where are those other 2 planets?
We can either build a lot of spaceships or reduce our activity and
eco-footprint to levels that require only one planet!
Hence the phrase one-planet living or one-planet tourism.
Some people may be excited by the prospect of whizzing off into outer-space but at Glasu we’ve chosen the more down to earth option - save the planet!
It may sound like daunting, but it can start with people making small changes in their everyday lives, to reduce their eco-footprint. Wild and Green Tourism aims to help both visitors and tourism-businesses in Powys to do just that, for example through:
- Providing information to visitors on eco-friendly accommodation, green activities to enjoy and more environmentally-friendly methods of travelling.
- Supporting tourism businesses, both to:
- Reduce costs through green measures such as reductions in energy use, waste, etc;
- Promote themselves to visitors who want to have a greener holiday
