Sustainable holidays in Styria
What does it mean to travel sustainably? It means treating natural resources with respect or using and consuming raw materials in such a way that they are available to future generations in the same quality and quantity as they are to us today.
The idea of sustainability originated in forestry. In the timber industry, people think in terms of generations. The reason for this is that the period from planting a tree to harvesting timber takes several generations, depending on the type of wood. Decisions made at a certain point in time only have an effect years or even decades later. In the green heart of Austria, efforts for a more sustainable future have been taken for many areas already – out of respect and a sense of responsibility for nature and future generations. By the way, it should be mentioned at this point that Styria is the most densely forested federal state in Austria, with about 62 per cent of its land covered by forests.
Going on a sustainable holiday means:
- to act with caution and care in the habitats you visit and to leave them as you found them,
- to perceive nature as intensely, authentically and respectfully as possible,
- and to adapt your lifestyle to the culture of the holiday destination.
„Be the change you want to see in this world.“
