travelers

may

have

already

heard

of

“regenerative

tourism”

along

with

the

idea

of

sustainability(持續(xù)性).

Whenever

we

travel－no

matter

where

or

how－we

are

leaving

an

impact

on

the

environment

and

the

world

surrounding

us.

While

sustainable

tourism

takes

positive

steps

toward

limiting

that

footprint

in

order

for

us

to

protect

environments

for

future

generations，

regenerative

tourism

takes

this

idea

one

step

further.Regenerative

tourism

means

“the

idea

that

tourists

should

leave

a

place

in

better

condition

than

it

was

before”.

For

example，

when

visiting

a

garden，

each

person

plants

a

tree

to

further

build

the

environment

instead

of

leaving

no

trace(痕跡).In

a

way，

regenerative

tourism

involves

travelers

to

be

active

in

their

acts

of

sustainability.

Another

great

example

of

this

is

any

act

of

clean－up.

This

is

especially

popular

on

major

beaches

and

in

parks

where

there’s

always

rubbish

to

pick

up

and

waste

to

remove.

While

travelers

certainly

don’t

need

to

join

in

a

community

clean－up

while

on

vacation

(unless

they

want

to)，

the

idea

of

being

involved

is

very

much

the

same.Joining

in

regenerative

tourism

has

personal

and

environmental

benefits.

Jeffrey

Skibins，

an

associate

professor

in

entertainment

and

park

management，

says，

“Many

tourists

report

feelings

of

deep

personal

satisfaction

and

a

stronger

connection

to

nature.

Additionally，

conservation

behaviors

enable

tourists

to

develop

life－long

learning

around

these

issues

and

continue

these

behaviors

at

home.”Regenerative

means

“to

renew

and

revive”，

which

is

exactly

what

many

travelers

are

doing

to

help

environments

recover.

Depending

on

where

one

plans

to

travel，

there

might

be

more

ways

to

help

than

originally

realized.

By

further

encouraging

damaged

environments

to

be

renewed

through

travel

rather

than

being

negatively

impacted，

we

can

slowly

help

to

rebuild

the

world’s

most

beautiful

landscapes.

wildfire

smoke

from

huge

fires

in

Canada

blanketed

the

US

in

the

summer

of

2023，

emergency

rooms

saw

an

increase

in

admissions

for

lung

problems，

heart

attacks

and

other

health

issues.

Burning

fossil

fuels

has

driven

climate

change，

and

now

climate

change

is

costing

people

their

health

and

increasingly

their

lives，

says

a

new

report

from

the

medical

journal

The

Lancet.

The

eighth

annual

Lancet

Countdown，

an

international

analysis

that

tracks

nearly

50

different

health－focused

issues

affected

by

climate

change，

calls

for

an

immediate

wind－down

of

fossil

fuel

use.

Those

with

the

least

historical

responsibility

for

causing

climate

change

are

feeling

the

worst

effects.

Pakistan－a

country

responsible

for

roughly

0.3％

of

all

climate－change－causing

carbon

emissions，

suffered

huge

floods

in

2022

that

displaced

more

than

30

million

people

and

killed

at

least

1，700.

However，

wealthier

countries

cannot

be

spared.

In

the

US，

wildfire

smoke

this

summer

sent

people

to

the

emergency

room

from

New

York

to

Georgia.

In

Europe，

a

2022

summer

heat

wave

resulted

in

over

60，000

deaths.About

one

fifth

of

all

US

residents

work

outdoors；

the

percentages

are

even

higher

in

many

other

countries.

When

it

gets

too

hot，

it

gets

harder

and

harder

to

work.

Last

year，

the

report

says，

outdoor

workers

lost

more

than

140

hours

each－or

several

weeks

of

pay－because

of

the

intense

heat.

The

human

and

economic

costs

are

forecast

to

grow

with

every

tenth

of

a

degree

hotter

the

planet

gets.

Heat－related

deaths，

for

example，

could

increase

by

nearly

five

times

by

the

middle

of

the

century，

if

without

immediate

reductions

to

carbon

emissions.

“I

Renee

“So

even

in

years

Ms

Liivand

moved

Florida.

She

nearly

wound

up

2

some

plastic

that

was

in

made

She

decided

she

wanted

work

to

make

people

of

plastic

pollution.Thinking

about

sea

creatures

gave

her

the

like

one.

She

began

swimming

with

a

8

single

swimming

fin

attached

to

both

of

her

feet.

This

rubbery

“monofin”

allows

her

to

swim

by

both

of

her

legs

together.“Swimming

with

the

monofin

without

“sends

May
