Support the Locals: Why where you spend your money matters! Locally owned businesses are those that are run and operated by people that reside in that specific community. They are independent from big corporate chains, and therefore are more rooted in the local economy. When you support local businesses your money is more directly injected into the local economy, increasing job growth and benefitting livelihoods. Purchasing small-batch, locally made and/or sourced products can help to reduce carbon emissions resulting from activities like transportation or large scale manufacturing. This also gives you a chance to engage more authentically with the places you visit whether through food, shopping, guided activities, or other services, while helping to protect cultural heritage from appropriation and corporate homogenization. Supporting locally owned businesses over big chains has tangible benefits for economic resilience, preservation of culture, and the enrichment of one’s own travel experience. Conscious travelers hold the power of making transformative choices, so consider how you can benefit the places you love by supporting these businesses the next time you travel. 🌎   #ResponsibleTravel #LocallyOwned #ECPCTravel

Startup Legal Garage thank you for all your support! This was an incredible semester with many important milestones achieved for our growth and development!

In a world where ‘sustainability’ has become a catch-all term, it’s essential to understand its origins and significance. We explore how pivotal movements such as the publishing of Silent Spring and the Santa Barbara oil spill sparked environmental activism all over the United States, with words like sustainability at the forefront of movements, representing a better future. By distinguishing between genuine action and unbacked claims, learn how to become empowered by making informed choices and bring back meaning to the word. Read the article below to learn how to unravel #sustainability. 🌲

This #EarthWeek we are extra thankful for all the amazing places we have been able to explore, and we're reflecting on the impacts of tourism on the places we visit. Travel should be an enriching experience for both the traveler and the host. That’s why @ECPCTravel is on a mission to change the extractive nature of the tourism industry by supporting and promoting businesses that work with local communities and help to protect the environment. Take a moment to read our latest article on #RegenerativeTravel and why we think it might be able to save the world! 🌎
