Everyone talks about how beautiful and amazing Bali is. Unfortunately, due to the huge influx of tourists, the island is slowly becoming a victim of environmental pollution. So if you’re planning on going on a holiday in Bali, here’s how to do it without feeling guilty.
Choose an Eco-Friendly Hotel
With the boom in tourism since recent years, resorts and hotels have been mushrooming up everywhere; so you’ll have more than enough of options to choose from. But listen to your heart and go with a place that follows the sustainable tourism and gives back to the community as well as the environment. Even if what brings you to Bali is business you can still go green. For example, let’s say you have to host a big conference here, you can find a sustainable business center in Bali the likes of the Bali International Convention Centre; to be the venue of your event.
Visit a Conscious Restaurant
More and more restaurants are thankfully taking on holistic food philosophies so it won’t be difficult to choose an eco-friendly restaurant when in Bali. The things you should look out for when dining in Bali, is if the produce is organic and ethically sourced.
Visit an Organic Spa
Spas can be found left, right and centre in Bali, but if you’re concerned about being eco friendly, book a treatment that uses handmade and organic products.
Do a tour of The Green School
Constructed entirely out of bamboo, is The Green School of Bali, the greenest school on earth! Located just outside Ubud, amidst a lush forest area, the school was founded by a couple who wished to educate others just the way they wanted their children to be educated about nature and its awesomeness. The Green School of Bali hosts kids from all over the world, and if you wish to learn up about nature, you can also sign up for their tours that are free of charge!
Explore the countryside on a bike
Peddle your way through the Bali countryside. Not only does it allow you to experience its rural beauty on a more intimate level that travelling by a car; but it also gives you the chance to reduce your carbon footprint and burn some calories at the same time!
