1 . How to limit your environmental impact while travelling
Travelling unlocks a world of endless possibilities and adventures, allowing us to hike through breathtaking landscapes, encounter kangaroos and deer in their natural habitat, and witness the power of volcanoes.
Try to travel by land instead of air. While air travel can often be quicker, it is typically one of the most polluting forms of transport.
Make the most of safe tap water (自来水). Drinking tap water may come as a shock to many travelers. But when you’re in countries where tap water is safe to consume, avoid bottled options. Not only are they more expensive, but they have a higher level of pollution compared to treated tap water.
Respect the local environment. When visiting different destinations, we should recognize the importance of protecting the natural beauty. We mustn’t throw rubbish everywhere.

8 . Four great Attractions to Visit in the UK
Alternative Technology CenterIt began as a community looking for ways of life without fossil fuels (化石燃料). The group included gardeners and engineers and its early experiments looked at wind and solar power. Two years later, a visitor centre was opened to make more people know this community’s lifestyle. Today its renewable tech and gardens attract many visitors.
Wildwood TrustIt is a great place for all ages where you can see amazing wildlife native to Britain. It holds an amazing collection of over 200 British animals. With a huge adventure playground for kids, it is good for families. Wildwood Trust offers half-price tickets to those who arrive by public transport.
St NicksIt’s surprising that the city centre is just a mile away when you walk through the grassy paths there. The place, now alive with birdsong and wild flowers, was once York’s rubbish tip (垃圾场). Now many apple trees grow there. And there’s a popular mini-Stonehenge in the middle, which is made of stones once thrown there.
Findhorn FoundationThe Findhorn Foundation has been trying to be a living model for the future since the 1960s. This is an eco-village with an arts centre and publishers; there are also films and plays on offer in the Universal Hall. Being in the Findhorn Foundation reminds you that powerful and positive visions for the future can be realized.

9 . On many travelers’ lists of things to do before they die, you’ll find “See the northern lights” written down. Rightfully so these lights are one of nature’s most jaw-dropping views.
In Sweden, the northern lights usually appear from late March or early April. Your best chance of catching a glimpse of them is on cold winter nights when the sky is clear, dark with little to no moonlight, and cloudless. You need to be away from city lights and go to the countryside. For those willing to brave the cold on winter nights, here are some of the best locations.
Abisko National Park
Abisko Natinal Park is a main location. The scientifically confirmed “blue hole”, a piece of sky over the Tornetrask lake that usually remains clear despite cloudy weather nearby, gives Abisko its own microclimate (局部地区气候), which is suitable for catching the lights.
Jukkasjarvi
The village of Jukkasjarvi only has about 550 people. But don’t let the small population size fool you: Jukkasjarvi owns the world’s first ice hotel and is one of the best places to view the northern lights. The ice hotel organizes guided tours for guests to the Esrange Space Center. There you can eat at a camp outside and see the Arctic winter sky for aurora borealis (北极光). Or why not try to get closer to the northern lights and watch them through an aeroplane window? The ice hotel arranges flights for the amazing northern lights experience.
Gallivare
You can drive a snowmobile to the mountain top in Gallivare for a private light show, or head a few kilometers to nearby villages to watch those lights shining across the dark winter sky. But remember if you do get the chance to see the northern lights in person, never whistle to them. According to ancient Sumi fairy, it brings you bad luck.
