EMBARK ON A JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY
Lately you may have seen the term ‘regenerative’ being used in relation travel, and you may wonder, is it just another, more elevated way of saying sustainable? Does this new term refresh the goals of sustainability, or replace them entirely? How do we navigate the ever-changing terminology around caring for our earth? We believe the most compelling answer can be found by understanding where the concept of regenerative travel came from and how it’s origin is shaping travel choices that benefit both people and planet.
Mindful Flying In any conversation about sustainable travel, there is an inevitable elephant in the room. An elephant that makes us wonder if ‘sustainable’ and ‘travel’ can truly exist side-by-side. An elephant with wings and propellors and a hefty carbon footprint: the aeroplane. We know that flying isn’t fully sustainable yet . In fact, it’s the least sustainable form of travel , and, as more and more people choose to fly , its impact on climate change is only increasing. But there are ways to make more mindful choices when travelling by plane.
Here at A’ARU Collective, we believe most people would choose to do better: Do better at connecting intentionally with others, make better choices with our time, find better ways to reduce our carbon footprint . Given the opportunity, we would opt for choices that have a positive impact on us and our planet. We believe with the right tools, most of us would make better travel choices, too. But in the age of information overload, climate change, and greenwashing , what does it mean to truly make ‘better’ travel choices that benefit both people and planet? To us, better travel is intentional, purposeful, and informed. Better travel has an environment- first approach and considers social and community impact – without sacrificing luxury. We believe better travel choices are attainable, one step at a time. As we embark on this journey together, here are some better travel choices you can keep in mind when planning your next getaway that go beyond using paper straws and reusing your hotel towel :
