Travel industry for a green world.
June 24, 2008
I find great that an increasing amount of customers are searching to expend their money on green companies and products, but I´m sure it is not the responsibility of customers to go out of their way searching for environmentally responsible products.
It is the responsibility of each and all companies to upgrade their product lines using the available technology and information in order to make all their products, if not green, the least harmful to the environment.
Because of its dynamic and fast pace, I think the travel industry should serve as a platform to showcase green initiatives and products, allowing others to incorporate ideas and see that going green is not as complex as some still think.
Let´s grow green.

I couldn’t agree more with this post. On the island of Aruba, I increasingly hear visitors asking for green alternatives. For some time now, I’ve been lobbying to get wind/solar initiatives started. There is a grass roots movement that is now gaining momentum. However, given the wind and solar resources there, it would be possible to power the entire island without burning anything and they would be a beacon to the rest of the world. Fingers crossed. http://www.bentpage.wordpress.com.
