A Conscious
Journey

Let’s face it: humans are putting a lot of pressure on the planet through their consumption choices and their pace of life. In everyday life as well as when travelling, we must be aware of this. As travellers, we sometimes use transport that emits large quantities of CO2: thousands of planes take off everyday from all around the globe which is part of the problem. But it’s also all the choices we make once we arrive at our destination that have an impact on the environment and local communities, such as our choices of accommodation, activities, resources use and so on. At Village Monde, we recommend making conscious choices even before you get on the plane. At any time, before, during and after your trip, a variety of actions can be taken to limit the impact of your visit. And since it is impossible to reduce your impact to zero, offsetting your carbon footprint in projects that benefit the environment and local populations is the complementary solution we propose and encourage.
