Today’s website of the day is ethicalescape.com a website that can teach us all how to be more responsible holidaymakers.

The long hot summer seems like a distant memory for many people and you might be considering a quick getaway from the first grumblings of the autumnal weather. But hold your horses.

Mass tourism leaves a significant footprint on everything it touches, from the CO2 emissions from the budget flights to the exploitation of those communities less fortunate than our own and the sometimes horrific damage to the environment caused by all those tours, hotels and holiday complexes.

If all of this is something that bothers you, then this is the site you should visit. With destination guides and tips on ethical and eco-friendly travel arrangements, you can book your holiday in the knowledge that you’re doing your little bit towards a better world.
