2. Use natural resources like water and also electricity with moderation. Remember that they could run out one day. 3. Try to reduce waste. It is a primary source of contamination. 4. When you have to get rid of some form of waste, do it in a clean way as indicated in your chosen destination. 5. If you find yourself in a natural setting, try to ensure that the only mark you leave is your footprint. 6. If you visit sensitive ecosystems, like coral reefs or the jungle, find out how to do so while minimizing the damage and environmental impact you make. 7. When you buy gifts and souvenirs, search for products that are expressions of the local culture. This will help the economies and cultural diversity of wherever you are. 8. Don't purchase flora and fauna protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), or products derived from these species. It is a crime and directly contributes to their extinction. 9. Enjoy the tourist destination that you have chosen by finding out about the culture, customs, food, and traditions of the local people. Respect and integrate with them, as they have lots to teach you.
