MAIN THEMETourism = People
People influencing,
ENVIRONMENT
• Climate• Landscape/Terrain• Carbon footprints
People (tourism) influencing climate
People (tourism) influencing climate
• Threat = As the world seeks solutions to climate change it looks increasingly towards implementing renewable energy systems. But, the large potential for renewable energy has not been realized due to many barriers.
• Solution = An important task is to identify the means to remove the economic, regulatory, and institutional disadvantages that make renewable energy less competitive than other conventional sources.
People (tourism) influencing climate
Solar, wind, tidal energy
People (tourism) influencing land
“In simple words, it is an unorganized human settlement which leads to the disturbances at land in a high rate of destruction in land, money and life.”
People (tourism) influencing land• Threat = Loss of life and money.• Solution = facilitate the movement of water
into soil, reduction of wind velocity near the ground level through wind breaks and mainly afforestation would help it.
People (tourism) influencing carbon
Carbon footprint - the amount of carbon being emitted. (Over three-quarters of
these emissions are man-made and are created by the burning of fossil fuels for transportation)
People (tourism) influencing carbon
• Threats = Everyday activities that seem virtually harmless, increases carbon footprint and add to the greenhouse gas problem.
• Solution = ecological light bulbs(cfl lamps), using solar energy, tidal energy and wind energy.
People influencing, People
People should go

• Threat = Over commercialization, internal conflicts, etc.• Solution = should go hand in hand with mutual approach in which it gives mutual benefits .(e.g.) ARTICLE IN HINDU NEWS PAPER in mutualism 18/09/2012 - In the vast plains of Africa graze innumerable zebras. Curiously, in their midst is a flock of ostriches! You wonder why. Zebras can hear and smell extremely well but have poor eyesight. On the other hand, the birds have excellent vision and hence, as a group they watch out for predators.
CONCLUSION
Simple, RESPECT LIFE AND DO YOUR PART IN SUSTAINING OR EVEN CONSERVING…….
