Travel is an intrinsic part of many of our lives. The places we
visit and the experiences we have become part of our identity.
Today, we are increasingly aware of the negative impacts our travel
can have, and a cultural shift towards living more consciously and
responsibly means many of us are reassessing our travel priorities.
The knowledge that air travel is bad for the environment isn’t
new, but it has long been considered a ‘necessary evil’.
Fortunately, in this new carbon-conscious era, consumer demand is
seeing real change in the industry. New, faster and more
comfortable rail and ferry services are making cross-continental
travel easy and enjoyable, while many hotels and tour operators are
improving their credentials and actively facilitating local
conservation and community projects. With so many factors to
consider and so much greenwashing to avoid, travellers need a
knowledgeable guide to lead them through the issues and inspire
them with practical ideas and itineraries. Includes: Why the future
of travel is, and must be, green Planning for a green trip: guide
to low carbon transport in the UK and across to Europe and beyond;
how to know if a hotel is genuinely green; how to pack, book a
green hotel and be a greener guest; Guides for the green traveller:
including car-free travel; watersports (in, on and below the
water); active winter; wildlife watching; rewilding; heritage
holidays; slow travel; long distance journeys; and positive impact
adventures Spread breakers: including ten of the best off-grid
places to stay; ten of the best campsites reachable by public
transport, ten of the best glampsites; ten of the best hotels with
natural swimming pools; ten of the best railway station
restaurants; ten of the best citizen science projects; ten of the
best foraging courses; ten of the best community-run enterprises
