Sustainable Travel - Tourism's Future

At our Spanish language school in Granada, Spain sustainable and responsible have always been parts of our vocabulary. Today, more than ever, we're convinced of the incredible importance of travel. It's only through travelling, through meeting people that we begin to understand that we're all sharing this world. So how do we make that ride not just a quick fairground twirl, but something that we can enjoy for our travelling lives and pass on to future generations? By changing our travel habits and thinking differently about how, where and why we travel. Responsible travel means assessing our impact on the environment and local cultures and economies - and acting to make that impact as positive as possible.

Sustainable Travel
Escuela Montalbán - TANDEM Granada is a member of Responsible Travel (Responsible Travel Policy as an Adobe PDF®) in England and supports campaigns such as Verträglich Reisen, Sanftes Reisen and atmosfair.

 

What is atmosfair?
Not everyone is either willing or in the position to give up air travel - despite the awareness that this mode of travel contributes significantly to the greenhouse effect. Hence, For people who are concerned in regards to the environmental ramifications of their air travel, this service has now been created: atmosfair.

How does atmosfair work?
Air-passengers can donate the equivalent amount for the greenhouse gases which were caused by the flight. The funds are invested in solar, hydropower, biomass, or energy-efficiency projects and thereby contributing to nutralize greenhouse gas emissions by the same amount that would be comparable to the aircraft's emissions. Thus, your donation helps to realize these projects!
