THINK GREEN

We discussed TOURIST TYPOLOGIES in our Ecotourism course. The four types of Ecotourists are:

  1. Hard - These are the tourists who prefer physical activities within the ecosite. They love adventure and challenge.
  2. Soft - These are the tourists who prefer to just enjoy the scenery/ecosite. They like relaxing activities.
  3. Scientific - The main purpose is research. They conduct studies within the area.
  4. Environmentalist - Their purpose is to conserve and preserve nature.

With these four types, I think I belong to the SOFT TOURISTS. With those busy and stressful days we have today, I would prefer to just go to an ecosite wherein I will just stare at nature and enjoy the relaxing moment. No worries. No homeworks. No projects. No reminders. Just pure nature.

When I was in second year highschool, we were required to put some designs in our desk. I chose to put a scenery in it. My mother was actually the one who printed it and she said that I've chosen a perfect picture. It was a picture of a road with all the trees at the sides. It's like a long path. (I really enjoy looking at pictures like that) She said that the color green gives us a relaxing effect. Whenever I get tired of studying, she instructed me to just look at that picture so that my mind can be refreshed. Hm.

If you want to escape from a stressful day, just look at something green. Green=Nature. Let us help conserve and preserve God's Creation. Remember: We are stewards of His creation.

Good day and THINK GREEN (not like the "green-minded" thing) :)
