Cheap and Eco-Friendly Travel - Bus Tour Edition

Picture
Recently the threat of climate change has become a prevalent issue, with many people showing concern for the future prosperity of our planet. These concerns are valid as every day we continue to advance technology and mass consumerism, we increase our global carbon footprint. As this happens, serious consequences will continue to arise for the environment. It is more important now than ever that we work together to reduce our individual carbon footprint and save the eco-systems that thrived before human life took root.

If you’re wondering what exactly a carbon footprint is, it is simply the levels of greenhouse gas emissions that an individual allows to enter the atmosphere at their own fault. It has been noted by multiple sources that these emissions have a direct effect on the temperature of the planet, leading to melting ice caps and rising sea levels. This is not only bad for the environment, but also bad for us. Entire cities could become submerged by the rising sea levels and cease to exist.

That being said, not all hope is lost! We as a global community have been banding together in the name of saving the planet. Each individuals carbon footprint makes a difference, meaning making slight changes to your lifestyle such as turning off lights when you leave a room, or reducing waste can reduce your carbon footprint drastically. That being said, one of the most effective ways to make a positive impact on the environment is changing the way you travel. In fact, one of the best ways to conquer the massive amount of carbon dioxide emissions put into the world, is by choosing a different form of transportation over another, such as bus tours.

The standard inter-city tour bus, like the ones we use at ShortTrips.ca, hold 55 passengers. When comparing this to the average capacity of a car being 5 passengers, it is evident that the more people that choose to travel by bus rather than car, the more positive effects we will see.
​
While of course it is impossible for one’s carbon footprint to be reduced to zero, there are many small, easy, and fun changes that can be made to reduce the strain placed on the environment. Taking a bus tour is one of the most fulfilling changes you can make to the way you travel so you can continue to explore the world for years to come.
