Eco Conscious Travel is Easy in Amsterdam
A keenly eco-conscious city, Amsterdam now offers ways to travel, have fun and live in a way which respects the environment.
(firmenpresse) - In a world threatened by the consequences of mass human action on the environment, Amsterdam is taking bold steps to reduce the harmful human imprint on the planet. A recent trend of many environmentally-conscious local entrepreneurs is to offer options for fun eco-friendly tourism around the city. While the first idea which springs to mind to that effect may be ditching the car in favour of a bicycle, Amsterdam’s creative minds do not stop there in the originality of their vision. Read on to discover some of the ways in which you can contribute to preserving the environment while having the time of your life on your Amsterdam holiday.
Do a Workshop at Mediamatic
Browse through Mediamatic’s monthly calendar and choose from a variety of ecologically-conscious workshops. You can learn about things as diverse and engrossing as sustainable farming, mushroom cultivation, kimchi cooking or the art of mixing fragrances into perfumes. These entirely practical sessions will teach you invaluable skills which you can then apply in your daily life.
Fish for Plastic on a Canal Tour
Plastic Whale offers you the chance to enjoy a guided boat ride along the canals while collecting plastic floating on the water. By the end of the tour you will have seen many important local landmarks, heard their curious stories, and collected enough rubbish to make a positive difference. This plastic is then recycled and brought back to use as furniture or as new boats to add to Plastic Whale’s fleet.
Get a Vegan Tattoo
Sea Shepherd’s concern for marine life has led them to launch an attractive new scheme for raising money for sea life conservation: vegan tattoos. These tattoos are only made using animal-friendly materials and the price you pay for one goes directly and entirely to saving marine species endangered by human activity. The tattoo parlour’s busy schedule does not admit on-the-spot tattoo appointments, but you can always walk in for a chat, to discuss your tattoo ideas, or to book a future appointment.
Get a Bite in the Dutch Weed Burger Joint
Seaweed, that is, please don’t get the wrong impression. This fast-food restaurant offers entirely vegan dishes whose delicious main ingredient is the eponymous weed, seaweed. The restaurant’s founders are convinced that seaweed is the vegetable of the future which can take the pressure off regular agriculture and contribute to a more sustainable way of life.
How to Get There
If you want to enjoy the city’s natural and architectural wonders in an environmentally-friendly way, only an hour’s flight from London to Schiphol Airport separates you from your goal. Once safely on the ground in Amsterdam, airport transport to the city is easy to find. A pre-booked shared bus ride spares both your pocket and the environment.
