Consultant Ushma Pandya is on the road for much of the year. So when she travels, the New Yorker takes a number of steps to keep her carbon footprint small. She packs light(theoretically, saving airplane fuel), stays at major hotels with well-articulated green policies, rents small or hybrid cars, turns off the heat or air conditioning when she leaves her hotel room and writes notes to make sure the hotel staff keeps it off, and brings her own toiletries in refillable bottles. "I’m always careful about the amount of waste I generate," she says.
Pandya’s actions are admirable. But do they make her a sustainable traveler? Ecotourism groups say that only responsible nature travel meets their criteria. Advocates of "sustainable tourism" say it’s not a matter of destination but of giving back to the local community and culture. "A lot of people want to use terms like ’ecotourism’, because it’s cool and hip now, and that’s created confusion," says Susie Blaire, director of communications for The International Ecotourism Society(TIES), which defines ecotourism as "responsible travel to natural areas that conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people."
For years the idea of eco-friendly travel was linked with trekking(徒步旅行)through wilderness and diving with sea turtles in exotic locations. Today a hotel in Times Square is just as likely to call itself green as a lodge in the Costa Rican rain forest. "Green travel has gone from a trend to a part of mainstream consumer and corporate culture," says Brian Mullis, president of Boulder, Colo.-based Sustainable Travel International. As eco-friendly travel has grown more popular, some organizations worry that its meaning is being watered down.
In October, 20 groups, including TIES, the UN Foundation and the Rainforest Alliance, will release a new standard for the term "sustainable tourism". A draft of the criteria mandates that sustainable-travel companies maximize benefits to the local population and culture through their businesses and take steps to remain carbon-neutral. To Kate Dodson, deputy director of sustainable development at the UN Foundation, a trip to Washington, D. C. , would be sustainable if one patronized(光顾)local businesses, including farmers’ markets and craft boutiques, stayed at an energy-efficient hotel that took steps to benefit the local community, took public transit and went for a hike at Rock Creek Park.
Next Christmas, Rachel and Eric Ellerman of Milwaukee will travel to Hawaii, where they’ll stay at local B&Bs, hike and relax by the beach. Is their trip eco-friendly? Yes. But that’s not how they think of it. "We’ve never called it eco-traveling," says Rachel, 30. "Our typical trip is a lot of backpacking and camping. We enjoy nature, and we think that that’s how we really relax, by getting away from it all." Perhaps that’s the best definition of all. [br] Which of the following can be taken as the best title for the passage?
