Editor's Notes
- Thank the ABIC conference organisers My history in tourism âmy name is Steve Andrew & I had been in the tourism industry for nearly 10 years. Eco tours, engage people in environmental issues. offsetting my bus & planting trees 3 years ago. I set about finding out what it all means, what ofsetts, carbon nuetrality etc and what is the right way to go about it. Iâm Sick of hearing about climate change talk. Talk talk talk talk Iâm over it, Iâm only intered in climate action. Each report speaks of more diabolical consequences if we donât act immeditely . Is there anyone elso here who has done something about climate change (beside Addictive entertainment & Intrepid) anybody elso carbon neutral? I think the reason is that most donât know how to go about itâŚ.thats what this presentation is about.
