Kwiminyaka engama-46 edlulileyo, kwaqala ukunyakaza. Yaye yaqonda ingozi yokuza kwezinto ezonakalisa imisebenzi yabantu zaqalisa ukufaka abantu basehlabathini. Ngo-1970, eqhutywa yinkxalabo yekamva lethu lomhlaba, Usuku lomhlaba lwasungulwa. Kwakudingeka ukuba uqalise ukuqonda okuqhubekayo okufuneka siqale ukucinga ngemiphumo yezenzo zethu. Emva kweminyaka engama-46, sisabhiyozela imini yoMhlaba ngo-Apreli 22, 2016.

Iihotele ezihlalayo ziyaziwa ukuba zigcine ukunyaniseka kwabaxhasi kuba thina, njengabathengi, sijonge ngokunyanisekileyo iimveliso ezinonembezo ezizuzisa ihlabathi lethu. Usuku loMhlaba, thatha isifungo ukubandakanya iinkqubo ezizinzileyo kungekhona nje kwimpilo yakho yansuku zonke, kodwa nakwihambo lakho kunye.
Ukuba ufumana uhambo oluya kwiRiphabhliki yaseDominican ngo-Ephreli, iiParadisus Resorts e-Punta Kana inikeza imisebenzi emininzi yeMini yomhlaba kunye neendwendwe zengqapheli.
Ngekamva elizinzileyo engqondweni, ininzi yemisebenzi yabo ijoliswe kubantwana abafuna ukukhula ukuze babe nokubaluleka kwimeko esenziwa ngayo ootata. Abantwana baya kubandakanywa ekutyalweni komthi, ukulima kunye neworkshop yesitrafti esetyenzisiweyo. Iintsana ziyakwazi ukuzonwabisa ngobuchule babo kwi-workshop yobugcisa kunye nezobugcisa ngokusebenzisa izinto eziphinda zenziwe kwakhona, okanye zisondele kwaye zixabise imvelo ngebhayisiki kunye nokudlala imidlalo yangaphandle. Omnye umcimbi wokutyala komthi uya kwenzeka kwiindawo eziselunxwemeni, apho abahambi banokutyala imithi kunye nabasebenzi, bafunde ngokuphila ePunta Kana ngeli xesha bephucula imvelo enye imbewu ngexesha.
Ummandla uninzi nemithi yamangrove, i-amphibians yelizwe lezityalo. Kungekudala, ama-mangrove sele esongelwa ukutshabalalisa ngenxa yokuphuhliswa kwezindlu, izixhobo zephulo, iindlela, iifama, njl. IPadadisus iPalta Cana inikeza "umsebenzi wokuQinisekisa ubomi" kwiindwendwe zayo apho zihamba khona ngeentlobo zeentlobo zee-mangrove ezi kunye. Bangakwazi ukutyelela i-greenhouse ye-mangrove eyasungulwa ukuze kugcinwe ukuhlukahluka kwendalo kunye ne-orchids engozini kwi-resort.
I-resort iyabandakanyeka kakhulu ekukhuselweni kwe-Leatherback Sea Turtle, enkulu kunazo zonke iifudu eziphilayo.
Ama-turtles afunyanwe kuqala kwiindawo zokungcebeleka ngo-Apreli 2015, xa amagosa asekuhlaleni ayekhusela kwaye agcina amaqanda ama-tortle ukuze aphule ngokuphumelelayo, ekugqibeleni anike ama-hatchlings angama-70 ukuze enze ulwandle. Bajonge phambili kwixesha elizayo le-tortle-nesting season, xa beza kuphinda baqhube inkqubo kwaye benze imizamo yokulondoloza iintlobo zeentlanzi ezinobungozi.
Ukuzinza kuyinkalo yokuba bonke abahambahambayo bafanele bajonge kwindawo yabo yokuhlala njengoko kunceda ukuveliswa kwemali yengeniso yoluntu lwasekuhlaleni ukubandakanya iinzame zokuzimela. Ukuba nje ngokuba kwindawo kwaye uthatha ubuhle bayo, ilifa kunye neenkcubeko, unokukunceda ukugcina ii-turtles okanye ukugcina ama-mangrove okanye ukufaka umthwalo wemfanelo kwiintwana zakho, kutheni ungahlali ukhetha uhlaza?
Iiparada zaseHarade zinezinye izakhiwo zasePlaya del Carmen, eMexico, ebizwa ngokuba yiNkokeli eyiGreen yi-TripAdvisor nje kutshanje, ukufumana ibhaso elincinci kunazo zonke zokuhlala, isimo sePlatinum.
Ukuba yi-Platinum Green Leader idinga ihotele ukuba iphumelele ukufundisa iindwendwe malunga nezenzo eziluhlaza, iinkqubo zokuphinda zibuyiswe kwakhona, iiplani zokuphinda zisebenzise kwakhona, ukulawulwa kwamagumbi okunyuka kwamagumbi kunye nokuzibophelela okuqhubekayo kunye nokuzibophelela okuqhubekayo kwizinto ezizinzileyo. Ihotele inikeza inxaxheba kwinqanaba lokusingqongileyo elunxwemeni ukuya kwiindwendwe, ukuqinisekisa ukuba bonke abemi banempembelelo entle kwimimandla yendawo.
I-Riviera Maya, apho iParadisus Playa del Carmen ikhona, inokwakhiwa kwesinye isisigxina, esingenzi nzuzo esibizwa ngokuba yi-Alltournative. Ngentlangano, iindwendwe zingabandakanyeka kwimisebenzi enomtsalane enjenge-zip lining, ukuhoxisa, ukuhamba ngamanqanawa nokubhukuda emahlathini ngelixa ufumana ubuhle be-Peninsula yaseYucatan. I-Alltournative inikezela ityelelo leetempile zaseCobá apho iindwendwe zingathatha inxaxheba kwimithendeleko yemveli yaseMeya. Yonke ingeniso yezokhenketho ehlawulwa ngumthengi ihanjiswe emphakathini ukwakha iipaneli zelanga, indawo yezemidlalo yoluntu, ihektare ezongezelelweyo zeefama ezizinzileyo zendawo kunye nezindlu zokuhlambela zamandla kunye nezikhizithi zokunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi. Zibalale uhlaza oluseMexico ngokuhlala ngokuzinzileyo kunye nemisebenzi enzileyo ukuze uncede abahlali baphile ubomi obuninzi ngenkathi uqala ukuzonwabisa.
Enye ihotele enokuzigcina ilondoloze i-Naples Grande Beach Resort, i-23-front-acre establishment establishment, kufuphi ne-protected acre 200-acre e-Florida. Baqulunqe amanyathelo angama-eco-friendly aquka ubume beenkqubo zokulawulwa kwamanzi ezifana nokukhanya okuphantsi kwamanzi kunye nokuvelisa amandla okusebenza kwamanzi, kunye neprogram yokuphinda i-recycling program egcinwe ngaphaya kwezigidi zamanzi ezigidi. I-resort yafika ngeendlela ezithakazelisayo kunye neendlela zokuzigcina zizinzileyo, uhlobo oluthetha ngalo ukuxelela abahlobo bakho ngefowuni malunga. Bakhele i-boardwalk equlethe kuphela i-milk jugs, apho iindwendwe kufuneka zihambe ngaphesheya ukuze zifike e-beach-miles-miles.
Ababhenkethi banokuthatha i-eco-tours ezincedisayo kunye nokufumana iintlobo zeemangcwaba ezidlulayo ngokukhawuleza ezigcinwe yi-resort, kunye nokubona izilwanyana zasendle ezivela kwinyanga kaDisemba ukuya ku-Epreli (kungekudala kakhulu kwixesha lokuphumla kweSuku lomhlaba) kwi-Conservancy yaseMzantsi Florida. Ababhenkethi banokuhamba nokuhamba ngeenqanawa okanye ukuhamba ngeenqanawa emanxwemeni kunye nokuqinisekiswa ukuba ubukho babo bodwa buzuzisa izinto kunye nabantu abajikelezayo. Ukuhlala okuzinzileyo yindlela entsha yokuhamba, kwaye le yithuba elinye apho kungabikho mntu oza kukhwela kuyo ngokujoyina i-bandwagon.
Ngokutsho kwesifundo esitsha yi-Global Travel Business Association , eyona iqela labaphathi bezohambo zehlabathi, ipesenti yeenkampani zokubhuka zokuhamba ezifuna ihotele ukuba zithathe "ukuzinza" amanyathelo ayenyuka ukusuka ku-11% ngo-2011 ukuya ku-19% 2015 eUnited States.
Indlela yodwa ngoku ihamba phambili, kodwa oorhulumente kunye nezibonelelo ezizinzileyo zidinga abathengi abanomdla ukuboleka isandla. Xa uhamba, hlala kwindawo ehlelileyo. Xa uhamba ukujonga indawo, yenza ngokungenzi nzuzo kummandla-ungayifumana ityelelo enikezelwa ngongeniso kwi-Visit.org kumazwe angaphezu kwama-30. Ukuba awuhambanga ngokuqhubekayo, abazukulu bakho kunye nabazukulwana-mzukulu banokuthi bangaba namathuba okutyelela kwiindawo ezifanayo unemibono enhle kakhulu.
Tshintsha ihlabathi, enye inoyolo, imemori eluhlaza ngexesha.
