UK residents take over 40m holidays abroad and more than 100m overnight stays in this country each year.Choices made about where to go，how to get there and what to do while there can either benefit or harm the environment.
While on holiday
Many of the things you can do to be greener on holiday will be the same things you can do at home—but there are also some extra things too，like avoiding gifts made from endangered species.Here are some suggestions：
·Making the most of locally produced food and drink，and local activities and attractions will support people in the area you are visiting and reduce the need for further environmental impact from transport;
·Switching off any air conditioning，heating and lights when you're not using your accommodation will help reduce climate change effects;
·Try not to waste water—some countries suffer from water shortages and saving water can help avoid damage to natural habitats.
Endangered species
Some gifts and foods available in some countries can be made from endangered plants or animals，for example，animal skins，ivory，orchids，caviar，or coral.Check before you buy，but if in doubt avoid animal and plant gifts.More details of the types of products to avoid and illegal trade hotspots can be found on the Souvenir Alert webpage.
Making a positive contribution to the place you are visiting
There are ways in which your holiday can help support local people and the environment：
·There are many opportunities to volunteer and help with projects that conserve and improve habitats and nature reserves;
·When you are away，or if you are looking for somewhere to visit in the UK，you can support projects or attractions which protect wildlife，such as nature reserves and conservation projects.
