Holidays activities bring fun for the whole family. The purpose of Eco friendly holidays is to relax, to enjoy the nature and to raise the awareness of protecting the earth. Kids will benefit most from Eco friendly holidays as they learn from the nature and later, they become an individual who has environmental awareness.

If you plan for Eco Friendly Holidays, here are some recommendations and holidays activities to make your Eco friendly holidays memorable:

• Limit the use of transportation especially air travel. All modes of transportation which use engine and burn fuels cause carbondioxide emission. Travel by plane cause the most emission of carbondioxide into the atmosphere and this leads to global warming and climate change.
• Practice 3 R: reduce, reuse and recycle during the holidays. Reduce waste or trash during Eco friendly holidays.
• Visit natural places such as National Parks, cave, plantation, conservation areas which include lake, mountain, water falls and crater.
• Do outdoor activities such as cycling, jungle trekking, nature exploration and camping
• Get to know the local tribes and their traditional lifestyle.
• Learn flora and fauna.
• You can choose to stay in a tent, in a caravan or in a modest lodge which has a nature surrounding rather than a hotel.
• Bring water tumblers instead of canned drink.

You can group with other families or relatives for holidays in group. When kids get together they will have more fun. Don’t forget to bring sun block, moisturizer, tea tree oil, insects repellent and also first aid kit for precaution of minor accidents or mishaps during Eco-friendly holidays.
