Be a Responsible Tourist
Being a responsible Tourist is no rocket science, if one follows the following:
- Hotel or Homestay – be judicious with the use of electricity and water.
- During winters, wear more warm clothes instead of turning on the room heater.
- Turn off your computer, laptop and lights when not in use.
- Conserve energy by using your laptop’s ‘sleep mode’ on instead of wasting energy on a screensaver.
- Unplug unused electronic equipment – even your mobile phone.
- Buy organic food
- Use cloth or reusable bags when shopping instead of plastic bags.
- Buy products with less packaging or buy in bulk.
- Buy produce that is seasonal and regional
- Use public transportation.
