This Earth Day, we are proud to celebrate the steps we’ve taken through our Hopper Trees program. To date, we have planted over 35 million trees on behalf of our customers since the program's launch in 2020. 🌳 🌎 Despite the many positive social and economic advances that come from travel, the impact on our planet remains top of mind for us at Hopper. Here are some simple tips on how to lower your environmental impact while traveling this spring & summer: 🛫 Fly direct! Booking a non-stop flight to summer destinations can save both time and lower the environmental impact of your air travel! 🏨 Make it a Staycation! Hotels and vacation rentals often offer lower rates to local guests. Save more on your next trip and reduce the impact on the environment by staying local. 🚘 Carpool! Consider skipping lines at security and opting for a scenic road trip to your destination. Carpooling with friends and family can lower the impact of your individual travel and lead to amazing summer adventures. 🌳 Book with Hopper! We’ll plant 2 trees for any flight, hotel, rental car or rental home booking you make. Check out more about Hopper Trees here: https://lnkd.in/ejPY3HVK

We are in a climate emergency. "Thousands of tourists spill onto a boardwalk in Alaska’s capital city every day from cruise ships towering over downtown. Vendors hawk shoreside trips and rows of buses stand ready to whisk visitors away, with many headed for the area’s crown jewel: the Mendenhall Glacier. A craggy expanse of grey, white and blue, the glacier gets swarmed by sightseeing helicopters and attracts visitors by kayak, canoe and foot. So many come to see the glacier and Juneau’s other wonders that the city’s immediate concern is how to manage them all as a record number are expected this year. Some residents flee to quieter places during the summer, and a deal between the city and cruise industry will limit how many ships arrive next year. But climate change is melting the Mendenhall Glacier. It is receding so quickly that by 2050, it might no longer be visible from the visitor centre it once loomed outside." #alaska #northamerica #glaciers #climatechange #globalwarming #tourism #future Read more & #shareyourthoughts https://lnkd.in/e_-_dHFN

Diving into the April school holidays with kids in Australia and New Zealand has been an adventure-filled journey for us! 🌴 With zero crossover this term, our life logistics plan has kicked into high gear, especially as we navigate keeping our family connected between borders. ✈️ But with every flight comes a conscious effort to reduce our carbon footprint. We've upped our game this year, not just in the air but on the ground too. Every journey is an opportunity to make a positive impact. 🌍 That's why we pay for carbon offsets on all our travels, opt for carry-on luggage to minimize fuel consumption, and take action closer to home by planting thousands of trees on our land and during community events. Our recent expedition to Antarctica 🇦🇶 opened our eyes to the remarkable role of whales in combating climate change. 🐳 Beyond their majestic presence, whales are unsung heroes of the ocean, actively sequestering carbon dioxide and enriching marine ecosystems in profound ways. From carbon sequestration through whale falls to the nutrient cycling and enhanced productivity they bring to marine environments, these gentle giants are essential to maintaining the delicate balance of our planet's ecosystems. 🌊 Their story inspired us to delve deeper into conservation efforts and rethink our approach to sustainability. It's not just about focusing on one aspect; it's about embracing a holistic approach to creating change. 🔄 Our journey led us to understand the interconnectedness of all living beings, including the tiny krill that sustain whale populations. It's a powerful reminder that every action, big or small, contributes to a more sustainable future. As we continue to explore ways to reduce emissions and champion conservation efforts, we're reminded that even the smallest steps can make a world of difference. 💓 Let's join hands in preserving our planet for generations to come. Together, we can make waves of change. 🌊🙌 #Sustainability #ClimateAction #WhaleConservation #Stewardship 🐋

At its core, sailing demands respect for the natural world. The tides, winds, and weather patterns dictate the pace and direction of travel, compelling sailors to adapt to nature rather than impose upon it. https://lnkd.in/gyEcvX3t #sailing #environmental #sustainability #sustainable

In 2022, DuVine became the first and only 100% carbon neutral bike tour operator. And that’s important—because responsible travel means caring about the health and longevity of the planet we love to explore. What does it mean to be carbon neutral? We account for all our annual CO2 emissions—such as the use of support vans, energy consumption at hotels, and even the operations of our offices in Boston and beyond. Then, we offset DuVine’s emissions by financially contributing to verified carbon reduction projects around the world. The projects we support reduce carbon in unique ways: through preservation of biodiversity, clean energy, reforestation, and more. By choosing our tours, you’re showing support for a greener future—without sacrificing an ounce of luxury. Together, we’re raising the bar and proving that sustainable travel matters. https://bit.ly/3s08uyj

Small cruise ships claim they are taking a big lead on sustainability. And in my latest Forbes story, I'll explain how these nimble vessels are trying to reduce their environmental impact. 🚢 Honestly, I was surprised by what I discovered. Cruise lines are going way beyond talking about the environment these days. And if they are to be believed, expedition cruise lines are charting a course for more sustainable travel, showing that it's possible to explore the beauty of our planet without leaving a trail of destruction. 🌱 🌟 We shall see … #smallcruiseships #sustainability #expeditioncruiselines #oceanconservation #GreenTravel #sustainablecruising #ecofriendlycruises
