Green tourism is therefore an important aspect of promotional efforts for reduction, reuse, recycle, energy efficiency, water conservation, and community empowerment to promote economic activities, in addition to examining environmental and cultural considerations. On tourist places visited, green tourism will encourage environmental sustainability, culture, and communities.

I am inclined to think and share about green issues while finding a way to reduce the impacts in a small scale.

At its most basic, responsible tourism includes tourists using tourist money for conservation, poverty reduction, and economic assistance, both directly and indirectly. In each area they visit, responsible tourists show respect for the local people and the environment.]]> 2021-06-08 15:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/3rranazir4/6un3z2g2eyt0ehkp/wish/1593166840 3rranazir4 https://padlet.com/3rranazir4/6un3z2g2eyt0ehkp/wish/1593173000 Avoid using sunscreen when swimming in the sea. Sunscreen contains harmful substances which is unfit for the sea waters. These substances have the potential to cause coral bleaching, damage coral DNA, and cause aberrant development and abnormalities. Sunscreen is likely simply one additional stressor that makes corals more vulnerable to diseases like Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease, which is wreaking havoc on reefs all throughout the Caribbean.

Similarly, you may have the opportunity to visit a slum in India or Africa, but some of them are nothing more than promoting a "human zoo" mentality toward the residents. 
Some of the things that locals are ready to supply tourists in cash-strapped locations are unsafe, unethical, and often exploitative. This aspect of responsible tourism requires the tourist to consider the activity's impact before engaging in it.]]> 2021-06-08 15:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/3rranazir4/6un3z2g2eyt0ehkp/wish/1593278800 3rranazir4 https://padlet.com/3rranazir4/6un3z2g2eyt0ehkp/wish/1593311266 In 2015, the country generated 38,563 tonnes of domestic, industrial, commercial, and institutional garbage each day, with 88.8% of that going to landfills. Malaysia produced around 7.34 million tonnes of solid garbage in 2005, of which 30% is potentially recyclable but only 3-5 percent was actually processed. Malaysian corporations have been importing garbage from other countries due to a lack of recyclables in the nation and the possibility for huge earnings, especially after China's entire plastic trash ban in 2018. With this, it is a concern in which as a citizen we should take action in reducing and recycling waste.

Many species' worldwide conservation statuses are included on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, and several additional organizations assess the condition of species within specific areas. Many countries have regulations in place to safeguard conservation-dependent species, such as hunting bans, land development restrictions, and the creation of protected areas. Native endangered species in Malaysia are Borneo pygmy elephant, Giant panda, Gorilla, Malayan tiger, Marine turtles, Monkeys, Orangutans, Oriental darter, Rhinos and Storm's stork. ]]> 2021-06-08 16:09:37 UTC https://padlet.com/3rranazir4/6un3z2g2eyt0ehkp/wish/1593341218 3rranazir4 https://padlet.com/3rranazir4/6un3z2g2eyt0ehkp/wish/1593365708 Deforestation also is a loss to the tourism sector as its potential to be a tourist destination has been eliminated. Malaysia lost 8.6% of its forest cover, or roughly 1,920,000 hectares, between 1990 and 2010. (4,700,000 acres). According to the World Bank, Malaysian trees are being taken down at four times the pace that is sustainable. Logging does not have to be as harmful as it is in Malaysia right now. Malaysia has made strides in diversifying its economy over the last two decades, but logging continues to attract many people because to lax regulation and huge profit margins.

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change.[1] Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat, or light. Pollutants are either foreign substances/energies or naturally existing pollutants that contribute to pollution. Pollution is frequently classified as either point source or nonpoint source.
