Code Green: Experiences of a Lifetime

Front Cover
Lonely Planet, 2006 - Travel - 215 pages
It's about a connection. The connection you make with places of natural beauty. The connection you make with people who lead very different lives to you. And it's about making connections in a sustainable way, so that the same opportunities will be there for the future. Code Green is an alert to the need for change in the way we travel. It draws together almost 100 responsible travel experiences from across the planet, from budget backpacking to serious luxury, all linked by three defining principles: tread lightly on the environment, immerse yourself in the culture and have a positive economic benefit for the local community. Get up-close-and-personal with gorillas in Rwanda, lemurs in Madagascar and sea lions in the Galapagos. Explore some of the world's most magnificent wilderness, and see it through the eyes of the Dogon people of Mali, the Masai of Kenya or the Maori of New Zealand. Tag turtles on the Great Barrier Reef, count macaws in Peru or learn to be a ranger in an Indian tiger sanctuary. You don't have to just watch the world blur by through the bus window - let Code Green inspire you to try an alternative approach to travelling.
