How can you contribute?
- Choose Sustainable Transportation: Opt for train travel within Switzerland’s excellent public transport system instead of renting a car or taking domestic flights. This significantly reduces carbon emissions. Consider e-bikes for local exploration.
- Support Eco-Certified Accommodations: Select hotels, guesthouses, or farm stays that have recognized sustainability certifications (like Ibex Fairstay or similar Swiss labels). These establishments often implement energy-saving measures, waste reduction programs, and support local initiatives.
- Eat Local and Seasonal Food: Dine at restaurants that prioritize locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. This supports local farmers, reduces food miles, and often provides a more authentic culinary experience. Look for “Suisse Garantie” labeled products.
- Reducing Plastic Waste: Carry a reusable water bottle and avoid plastic shopping bag, and utensils to avoid single-use plastics and reduce waste.
- Conserve Mountain Resources: Be mindful of water and energy use in Swiss accommodations.
- Offset Flights Responsibly: If flying, choose carbon offsets with clear Swiss environmental benefits.
- Pack it Out, Respect Wildlife: Leave no trace in Switzerland’s pristine nature.
- Support Alpine Preservation: Consider donating to Swiss organizations protecting mountain environments (e.g., against glacial melt impacts).
