Climate Action Holiday Travel Tips

As I Climate Advocate, I am asking a question. Have you ever considered what we can do to help alleviate pollution when we are traveling?

Types of Pollution from Traveling

Traveling contributes to various forms of pollution, significantly impacting our planet. The most prominent type is air pollution, especially from air travel. Aircraft emit greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, which can worsen climate change and affect air quality. Ground transportation, including cars and buses, also plays a role in emitting harmful pollutants, contributing to both air quality degradation and noise pollution.

For a more comprehensive understanding of aviation’s environmental impact, check out the detailed description provided by Wikipedia at the following link: Environmental Impact of Aviation

One of the websites I like for information about Eco-Friendly travel is : https://tripjive.com/

What about eco-friendly packing?

FYI
Lightweight and Durable Choices:
Choosing light yet tough luggage helps the environment. Lighter gear means vehicles use less fuel. This is true whether you’re flying, driving, or taking the bus.
For example, carrying less weight in a vehicle can save 1-2 miles per gallon of fuel!

All the best for our Planet :)

Juneteenth Celebrations

Celebrate – Wednesday, June 19, 2024

History of Juneteenth
Over the years, a number of myths concerning Juneteenth have developed which are repeated annually as part of the celebration’s history. Among these is that General Order No. 3 ended slavery in the United States on 19 June 1865. Slavery was not abolished in the US until 6 December 1865 through the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, and so General Order No. 3 did not end slavery, it only made clear that the Emancipation Proclamation of 1 January 1863, freeing slaves in the confederate states, would be enforced.
