    Green Tip: Only order one dish...

    Posted by Matt1979 1 December 2006

    When you are in a remote village or such travelling as a group, it is a lot better for you all to order the same meal or dish. By doing this, the rural community you are staying with only has to light one fire in order to produce the meal...saving local firewood, reducing CO2, protecting biodiversity, helping control soil erosion, reducing flash flooding, maintaining soil fertility...and you still get your lovely grub!

    Anywhere you are staying with a rural community who produce food using firewood...
