Littering of plastics and other major POP (persistent organic pollutants) is a dangerous act. Visitor shop in major and minor retail outlets churn out many plastic bags.
Each day millions of bags used are thrown away irresponsibly and the one you are using could be the one to be thrown away next. You might be running from British vacationing for cleanliness reasons, If you are coming to East Africa take note of that, plastics are here avoid them
PLASTIC CHOKED BIRD
Tourist hotels especially here guzzle countless gallons of water far stripping what the great number of people use. What an average tourist uses in a day is substantial to produce rice for a 100 days for a third world villager
Only a small fraction of your payments end up in the pockets of hospitality workers and that smile on their faces may not be a gesture of happiness lest the boss fires you for being gloomy to visitors. A big chunk goes to the Airline, travel insurance company, Tour Company, Hotel and a small fraction to the one who does your laundry at the Hotel
Travelers who prefer home stays use everything less than in up market Hotels but even putting a bigger buck in native’s coffers.
Bush trampling for nature walkers ought to be very carefully regulated especially for mass tourism as some rare grasses along footpath get trampled causing even further extinction.
With the forecast increase in arrivals in future, the amount of pay to hospitality menial workers will become even more inversely proportional to what you pay to tour organizers. They will have to work longer hours for less pay because a monthly pay they get is irrespective of the chores.
First class tickets means your carbon foot print baggage will be colossal than what an average budget traveler accounts for, so mind the way you travel.
