This summer, relax and learn with Do You Really Know! It's time to learn all about the concepts, words and expressions that surround the summer season!
What is an eco-friendly beach?
For many people, beaches are synonymous with the summer holiday season. Beach holidays have been popular since the second half of the 19th century, and are the archetypal form of mass tourism. With millions of people indulging in such getaways each year, it goes without saying that there’s a significant environmental impact. We regularly get riled when seeing pictures of beaches covered in plastic bottles, or turtles choking on straws. Around 10 million tonnes of waste end up in the ocean each year, with tourism hotspots creating 26% more than other cities.
Are you saying my new eco-friendly lifestyle isn’t compatible with a beach holiday? Wait a minute, should we stop using sunscreen then? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions !
