According to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), global tourism accounts for 8-11% of global greenhouse gas emissions. With a rapidly heating planet, we all need to take responsibility for our own individual carbon footprints and temporarily reconsider our travelling habits. One way we can do this, is to simply appreciate what’s around us. For those of us that reside in the UK, we are privileged to live in such a rich and diverse landscape; there are 33 UNESCO World Heritage Sites and 46 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). So with this in mind, it really is possible to enjoy time away, without stepping on a plane.
