Small gestures by individuals may seem like drops in the ocean. We may be even less likely to consider our footprint when we engage in travel and certain activities. Tourism pollution can da mage the environment\, use or exploit natural resources\, and negatively impact the local communities who depend on tourism for their economic wel l-being. As local and global solutions are needed\, what types of collabo rative solutions are necessary to address noise\, light\, air\, water\, l and\, and soil pollution? As some destinations strive to reinvent themsel ves in terms of planet protection\, what can be done to improve life for residents while still allowing travelers to see the world? How can local officials\, the tourism industry\, and others collaborate to reduce envir onmental issues impacting the world? Can we—personally and collectively— balance a life of sustainably with economic realities?
