The summer has been extremely hot, to say the least. Our forests are also suffering from the high temperatures and lack of rain. The climate emergency is a reality and any action, individual and collective, to reduce the CO2 footprint counts.

When planning our holidays, it’s worth asking ourselves whether attractive offers and low prices also have an acceptable cost for the planet. With these unbeatable deals come waves of mass tourism. The resulting excessive consumption puts pressure on territories that often no longer have the capacity to regenerate, depletes resources such as water, energy and food, increases waste and pollution, and worsens the environmental footprint.

For this reason, if we want to travel during our holidays, let’s choose responsibly by picking options that respect the local population, culture and environment. It’s important that we recognise that only a collective change in habits will allow us to advance in mitigating and adapting to climate change and towards real energy sustainability.
