Eco diet

Eco diet involves reducing processed meals, fattening snack and fast foods, which are processed using enormous amounts of energy.

Environment protecting diet excludes chocolate, cheese, wine and also most meat, for it takes lot of energy to feed livestock.

On the other hand milk, ham, bacon, pork, eggs, bread and biscuits are acceptable food.

This way, not only do we maintain a healthy body and lose a few extra pounds, but we also take care of Mother-Earth, something we must work towards on a regular basis.

Ways to Make the Most of Green Travel

A number of us adore the outside, and in some cases, many of us love it profoundly. Outdoor pursuits, and also the travel we all embark on to go to our vacation spots, may damage the untamed locations we have come to appreciate. Fortunately, it does not need to be this way. Getting there is half the actual enjoyment, right?

There is the choice of picking airlines with the most up-to-date, far more fuel-efficient jets; that minimizes your own personal carbon footprint. However ultimately, this is simply not an Eco-friendly transportation mode. You might counteract your carbon footprint by becoming a member of one of the systems which “pays back” what you “spend” when it comes to emissions through growing trees in a comparable amount to the actual carbon footprint of the airline flight. But, is this enough? There are other things you can do.

Turkish travels

Regular readers will know how much I love to go hiking in unusual places and today I will tell you about one of my favourites. Cappadocia is located in the centre of Turkey, southeast of the capital Ankara, and is like nowhere you have ever seen before. The expansive terrain is made up of crazy rock formations including those commonly known as fairy chimneys. These phallic towers consist of relatively soft rock topped by harder rock which protects the columns from the elements. Aside from the chimneys, there are plenty more interesting formations in the numerous valleys to whet your appetite. From the warm hues of Red Valley to the romantic curves of Love Valley, the region is a joy to behold.

A different shade of green

Much has been said about going green. Matter of fact, this term has been bandied about so much that it has now become a part of everyday vocabulary. So much so that you half expect everything to have conformed to keeping the earth a safe and better place to live in. A noble cause and well worth the hullabaloo. Not like a musical event that goes around the world but skips Kingston for no reason. I was in for the shock of my life the other day when I came across an article that proclaimed that hybrid cars actually discharged more harmful substances than petrol or diesel ones. Boy, you could have knocked me over with a feather!

UK recycling

A new and innovative initiative has started in the UK thanks to which we can make the most of recycling. No doubt that people concerned about the environment have been proclaiming the fact that without making the most of resources we would be simply increasing our impact over the plant’s environment. This is the reason why people from all classes and institutions have now the great opportunity to make their contribution to the world and reduce their impact over the environment.

Packaging

Definitely, the people practicing the teaching English jobs are trying to teach our children that environmental protection is what we all need to follow as a concept principle if we want to move towards a greener way of life. However, do we really do that? This can be easily observed when we head for a vacation. People hardly realize that even the way they pack is important to the environment and this is what needs to be discussed – we cannot avoid using planes no matter how they pollute, but we little and even insignificant effort we can actually make an absolute green contribution to the environment.

We usually pack out stuff in the suitcase using those plastic bags that we get from any supermarket. We use them to separate underwear from official clothing for example and by the end of our trip we throw them away, very often in the bin for containing non-recyclable waste. But is this environmentally friendly travelling? Not really! The plastic waste takes thousands of years to be absorbed by the environment and this absorption is actually quite harmful to the nature as a whole. So why do we keep packaging stuff in plastic?

Another way is available. Paper bags might seem not quite convenient for packaging clothes for example. But they do the job quite fine – you still have a device to divide your luggage in your suitcase. More importantly, paper is environmentally friendly. First of all, when thrown away it is recyclable and might be used multiple times which reduces the impact on the environment. Secondly, paper takes only up to a month to be absorbed by the environment is thrown away without recycling and still causes absolutely no harm because it is obtained through processing natural materials – wood. So do not we try to stay environmentally friendly while travelling by simply using a paper bag rather than the plastic container that is among the major polluters in the environment.

English teaching jobs when travelling

Travelling the world is the stuff of dreams for most of it. What better way to expand your horizons than to head off on an amazing trek that will take you across the continents of the world and allow you to experience difficult cultures and ways of living? It’s no wonder that so many people take a year or more out of their lives for a valuable trip. It’s not running away from life, after all: it’s embracing it. After all, who wants to look back and regret not having done such an essential thing?
However, travelling the world isn’t cheap, particularly when you’re travelling to countries in Europe or in developed countries throughout the world. Fortunately there are plenty of opportunities for travellers who speak English as their native language. English is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, and because it’s used widely as a business language or in politics, people everywhere want to improve their English skills.
For this reason English teacher jobs are available the world around, and as a native speaker you’ll be in hot demand. Schools, universities, and other institutions are often looking for helpers for conversation classes, or on a more formal teaching basis. Many individuals are also looking for tutors to help them with specialised skills such as business English or the English needed for a particular field, such as engineering or architecture.
Because it’s in high demand, English teaching can pay quite well, and the hours are less demanding than, say, working at a pub. Give it a try!

Visit: the Amazon basin

One of the world’s most untouched places, the Amazon river is a wonderland of lush rainforests and fantastic natural variety. But there’s more to the Amazon than first meets the eye, and, for many years, this wilderness has been home to locals who fish the rivers and the lakes in order to survive.

With arms conditioned by years of fishing and living on the barest of meals – surprisingly filling but lacking that variety which westerners are so used to – a man called Tapioca sinks into his long, one-man boat and pushes off in search of fish. Heading down river across the brown surface of the Amazon, he’s making his way closer to the rainforest, where he hopes to find the Pieroco…the cod of the Amazon, and a monster fish which can grow up to 15ft in length and overpower a small boat.

In the rain-forest there is an ethereal feel which is hard to describe, and the hunter’s Crafts Fabric blends seamlessly with the soft, pastel colours. The forest is flooded at this time of year, meaning that the monkeys which would usually be high up are actually lower down, closer to the waters surface—

…before a pink creature is pulled from the water – large at around 7 feet but still much smaller than the monsters that can evolve

English as She is Spoken

Eco Trekkers know how important it is to fit in with the society and culture we are visiting. Also, we love giving something back to the people who are hosting our travels. One of the best ways of contributing to the societies we visit is by teaching English as a foreign language in the countries we want to stay in.

English teaching jobs are always available in huge numbers throughout the world. Third World countries such as Laos and Thailand in Southeast Asia, Senegal and Zambia in Africa, and Venezuela and Columbia in South America all have a big demand for first-class English-language teachers. And, surprisingly, it is not just the Third World countries that need native English-speakers: European countries as wide-ranging as Russia and Finland all want good English teachers.

Even in the USA there is a demand for English lessons, since immigrants from Spanish-speaking Latin America, let alone from the rest of the world, all need tuition in the English language.

One of the really positive aspects of being prepared to teach English as a written or spoken skill is that it is totally carbon-neutral. There is absolutely no impact on the environment in sitting down with an individual or a group of people to speak English. If the lessons involve writing, well, paper can be re-used several times or can finally be recycled, or just etch your words in the dirt or sand, or whatever natural material happens to be available that can be erased and used again and again.

So, one of the best preparations for eco-travelling is to get yourself a qualification in teaching English as a second or foreign language. You could soon find that the cost of learning pays its way in teaching.

Going digital helps the planet

With our current financial crises an ongoing issue there seems to be no shortage of Radiography Jobs going. This has got me thinking; is radiography in anyway bad for the environment? As much as it is a vital way of determining where foreign objects have found their way into the human body is it detrimental in any way to our planet?

It turns out that the old fashioned way of performing radiology did have bad effects due to the amount of energy it used. But also similar to the fact that digital photography is better for the planet than the traditional film photography, digital radiography also shares the same benefits. As much as using film over digital images does have a nicer feel to a photograph, and there are many purists that still won’t dare go digital, it is important we embrace these areas of the digital age in order to do our bit for the planet. It also pleases me that more and more movies are being shot on digital and as the numbers of cinemas use digital screens we are cutting emissions even further when it comes to being entertained. The production of film causes carbon emissions, as does the processing of it. It uses chemicals that get released into our atmosphere that we could do without.

We need to see more things go digital for the benefit of saving our planet. So don’t be afraid of the digital age it has its uses if we want a planet we can live on in years to come.
