Going Green

May 04, 2020 12:00 AM
Did you know that each year we produce around 300 million tons of plastic worldwide? And did you know that 91 percent of that plastic waste doesn’t get recycled—even when you put it in the recycling bin? Instead, it ends up in landfills (not breaking down), or even worse, in our rivers and oceans! Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to discourage you from recycling your recyclables (please keep recycling!). That being said, the phrase is “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,” so clearly the best way to solve the plastic problem is to reduce! Every little change makes a difference, and even imperfect and inconsistent changes to our plastic consumption is a step in the right director toward taking better care of our planet!

Ecotourism: Traveling for Good

Ecotourism. Planet-friendly travel? That’s what the name implies, but unless you’re an avid traveler, you may have only heard this term in passing. More likely, you’ve heard a popular nickname—ethical vacation, sustainable tourism, or mindful travel. All of these terms encompass the same general idea: travel in a way that’s helpful, not harmful. Whether you’re traveling to a golden beach in Southern Italy or to a dazzling Arctic snowscape, ecotourism entails that you act considerately toward the local environment and culture.

Howth: An Irish Seaside Town

March 12, 0018 12:00 AM
While studying in London, I visited Ireland for a weekend along with a small group of friends. None of us had been there before, and by our last day in Ireland, we had run out of touristy things to do. We asked an employee at the National Leprechaun Museum in Dublin for ideas, and he gave us a veritable pot of gold of options. We took his suggestion to travel to Howth, a small fishing town on Ireland’s east coast.
