The Ecotourism Society has guidelines to help find a truly eco-friendly operator. For example, a company should be able to show that funds from a trip go directly to the local community--this includes employing locals and using lodging and food from the area. The society also recommends asking tour operators about what they do for local conservation. Find out if they donate money to local organizations that concentrate on environmental concerns, or if the operators have established local conservation projects.

CONT

EcuadorExplorer.com believes that travelers should look for the following five characteristics when visiting eco-sites or while touring with eco-operators: 1. Conservation. 2. Minimal Environmental Impact. 3. Sustainability. 4. Meaningful Community Involvement. 5. Environmental Education.

Record 5 1999-12-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Special Rail Transport
  • Freezing and Refrigerating
  • Food Industries
CONT

Trucking has always been the mode of choice for shipping refrigerated product. But with recent developments in technology, the railways are becoming more confident they can measure up as a viable service alternative... A few weeks ago, US-based Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway(BNSF), ran its first all-refrigerated train from Illinois to California. It carried frozen product at a constant temperature for the entire 69-hour trip. There were no re-fuelling stops and so far, no cases of food spoilage... When you put a trailer on a train, there's nobody really looking after it, so if loads go bad or(the units) run out of fuel they don’t notice until it's too late. The difference with the BNSF service is the whole train is refrigerated and therefore gets constant attention.

French

Domaine(s)
