This week's video is very serious unlike last week's.....
Actually it's crucial to make some regulations to protect the earth.
I think it's good to set limit the number of tourlist for the Antarctic as an internatial rule.
By the way, It remainded me the news that we can't crime the Ayers Rock from 2 years later at earliest.
People throw garbage there.
But about the Antarctic, the main reason is the Ayers Rock is foly, so the Aboriginal people don't want to allow the tourlist to crime there, right?
And also crilimg is dangerous,so ....
Oh!! I mistook to write a comment.
But about the Antarctis → But unlike the Antarctic....
crime → climb
I should to pay attention more!!
yes....quite a gloomy picture if you think that these environments will disappear in a matter of decades...
Humans have quite an impact on the earth, and a responsibility not only to protect its resources from harm, not just to use them.
As a person I would love to go to Antarctica, but I have to think about what effect my visit will have.
On the other hand, eco-tourism has positive effects, in that it promotes awareness of issues in the environment.
Thanks Kyoko, your responses are always interseting to read...ciao
I'm not sure if you've listened to the listening from the British Council, but it provides a good action plan on planning a holiday. It incorporates positive eco-friendly aspects to consider when thinking about going on holiday. Many of the things we already do, but some things that we may not have considered. ciao
