Should holidays be eco-friendly?

• In summer 2011 my whole family and I went on a cruise.

• We started in Genua, Italia and visited every day a new country for 8 days.

• The places where we have been were Marseille, Barcelona, Tuna, Malta, Sizilien and Salerno.

• The purpose of the holiday was actually to relax and to see very much countries and different cultures in a short time.

• To be honest I don´t know if a cruise is eco-friendly but I think it is not that bad than fly around the world with a big plain.

• When you go on such a ship you don´t know how much garbage or how much food have to dispose.

• After my holiday I informed about this and found out that this is incredibly much mass because the people on the ship drink for example a lot of beverages from a tin.

• I don´t believe that local people are involved in the cruise business because the people who work at such a ship came from all over the world and not only from the destinations we visited.

• Although this business have one big positive impact.

• These are the better economic situation because the day trippers buy things or need a guide or something like that and so in this towns are more jobs for the local people.

• I would say I left a middle size of the CO2 footprint but I only have to say that it was such a great experience for my life that I will not miss.

• At my next holiday I plan to inform me until I went there and search for solutions how I can make my trip eco-friendlier and not to exploit the local people.
