Eco-Friendly Tips for Sustainable Trips
When teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg traveled to New York by sailboat last summer, it wasn't just younger generations who were with her in spirit. Globetrotters of all ages are looking to minimize the environmental impact of their travels.
In fact, when it comes to choosing sustainable travel options, baby boomers are leading the way, according to a recent survey by Booking.com. Boomers are more likely than Gen X, Millennials or Gen Z to choose environmentally friendly accommodations and modes of transport when booking trips, the survey found.
Across all generations, but particularly among boomers, there's "a growing awareness about the urgency and impact of climate change, loss of biodiversity, and just in general, unsustainable practices," says Gregory Miller, executive director of the Center for Responsible Travel.
The result: strong consumer demand for "sustainable"
