replying to @RTWBarefoot @kate_frankie #pttravel pre-education. Teach people about foreign cultures, rather than having people either not going at all ('oooh they're all strange over there'), or going with an air of arrogance and superiority ('oh they don't have bins in this backwater, who cares')

A5 I think think we have to try to travel in the off season, read up on and respect local tradition, put your money in as many local pockets as possible, be as sustainable as possible and not feel guilty about the bits you can't possibly do - it's a balancing act #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3: It comes down to personal responsibility at the end of the day. Seeing photos of UK beaches and nature reserves being trashed as the country opens up. makes us wonder how much can be taught and how much is really down to personal responsibility. 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏾‍♀️ #PTTravel

@Pinkzenjoy @kate_frankie it won;t be a complete solution to any of them, but it'll be a great great help/step down that road #pttravel
There is no magic bullet, but we won;t even be in the shop to look for one if we keep arguing and deriding each other.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5 A hard one! And we will never do enough. I think we need to do more towards supporting conservation projects, planting trees & protecting wildlife. And clean our oceans! #pttravel

My wife (ex) got so frustrated trying to open one of these bear-proof receptacles in Alaska that when I showed her how to do it, she threw the trash at me.

replying to @Pinkzenjoy @Pinkzenjoy @kate_frankie Administrators can encourage, teach, fine, ban etc to promote sustainability BUT at the end of the day, folks just need to take ownership and decide to do the right thing for these destinations and heritage places. #PTTravel

@findinganeish @kate_frankie In most of the USA nobody (by law) is allowed to own the beach below the high tide mark. So if you can get to the beach only the tide can force you to leave.
Of course some people and neighborhoods try to make it impossible to get to their 'private' beaches. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie #pttravel A6: really, I ought to do things like learn to sew. It fits in with my hippie vibe if I created my own clothes from offcuts rather than buying cheap/new. That said, I rarely buy clothes, so ... you know.

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie There’s a famous saying, not sure who said it. But it’s something like, take with you memories and anything else you bring. Leave only footprints. That. I wish more people would just do that. #PTtravel
