A1: Travelers can't avoid negatively affecting the natural environment, but with efforts to travel as sustainably as possible, support local businesses, respect cultural norms, learn from the experience and share knowledge,the positive impact can outweigh the costs. #CultureTrav

A1: Supporting local communities in your everyday choices; from guides to hotels to food to souvenirs. Sharing a skill or your time, for good. Treading lightly on the land and making up for your inevitable damage with environmental action. #CultureTrav

A1. I guess it really depends on where you're traveling, but an important one to me is to make sure my tourist dollars (for eating and sleeping) are going to local people and businesses and supporting the local economy #CultureTrav

replying to @travelcricket8 @travelcricket8 Thinking about my impact on the places I visit. How I affect the environment, the locals, and treating the destination with respect and care as I would treat a person. #CultureTrav

A2: Green travel strategies: pack light (less weight = lower carbon emissions), go car free (public transit over taxis or car services), pack reusable bags, support green business, don't waste resources, pick up trash, go off season, avoid tourist traps, shop local. #CultureTrav

A1: Taking time to make a difference somehow. One of our favorite ways is volunteering in a school. The #SandalsFoundation offers opportunities like this. #CultureTrav

A2: We’re big on trash collection and prevention. We make it a habit to pick up litter on hikes, carry reusable bags & never buy plastic water bottles (going on 7yrs now). We also choose tour operators with sustainability top of mind. #CultureTrav

A2: Get to know local crafts people and ways to support them, shop from local farmers, stay with local hosts. Explore on bike or walk. Minimize plastic use. #CultureTrav
