Italy
Massa Lubrense includes the Punta Campanella Marine Protected Area. Respect all regulations: fishing restrictions, boating rules. Stay on marked trails in protected FAI areas like Baia di Ieranto.
Italy emphasizes "differenziata" (separate waste collection). Separate plastic, paper, glass, and organic waste into designated bins. Avoid littering, especially in natural areas.
The region can experience water shortages, specifically in summer. Conserve water by taking shorter showers and turning off taps when not in use.
Make conscious choices for a positive impact.
Consider offsetting your flight's carbon footprint. Airlines and third-party organizations present programs that invest in environmental projects to compensate for emissions. This presents a way to lessen your environmental footprint from long-distance travel.
Research and select accommodations and tour operators committed to sustainability. Seek businesses that use renewable energy, minimize waste, practice water conservation, or champion local conservation efforts.
Support local traditions, crafts, and historical sites. Visit local artisan workshops, choose to dine at traditional trattorias, and interact with the history of the Saracen towers. This keeps local heritage alive.
Learn basic Italian phrases. Always greet shopkeepers and restaurant staff politely. Politeness creates more pleasant interactions. Embrace the slower pace of life, especially in smaller towns and villages.
Choose clothing and equipment from companies committed to sustainability.
