Holiday Island Tenerife Acts On Environment

by Tribune2

Tenerife is one of the seven Canary Islands off the coast of
Africa and a favourite destination in the winter for European
holidays, and the island is now looking at how it can improve
it's environmental record, in both the public and private
sectors.

Tenerife and Tourism

The island of Tenerife is almost completely dependent on
tourism, and is a particular favourite for British tourists.

Known among many in the UK as 'Paradise Island' Tenerife is
sunny year-round, which makes it the perfect destination for
relaxing in the sun any time of the year. And they want to keep
the tourists coming back.

Going green and protecting the environment is one way that
Tenerife can protect its status as a hot holiday spot that won't
have her reputation damaged as being environmentally unfriendly.

The island is vulnerable because it is so dependent on tourism.
Changing climates could easily put them out of business and
entirely change the nature of the island. Rising temperature
alone could make relaxing on the beach an unbearable past-time,
so acting to stop global warming makes a lot of the sense for
Tenerife.

Travelling to and around Tenerife

Travel is a major cause of environmental concerns and a ferry is
available to take holidaymakers to the island of Tenerife from
the Spanish mainland. The ferry goes to either Santa Cruz de
Tenerife or Los Cristanos. Nearly half a million visitors come to
the island of Tenerife via cruise ships.

The main method of transportation on the island of Tenerife is
buses.  An elaborate fleet of newer buses which have less of a
carbon footprint provide transportation for one location to
another on the island. There are also plans for a light rail
network to connect the capital with the south side of the island.
The idea is to reduce the amount of carbon emissions in the air
caused by ground travel.

Tenerife Goes Green

Tenerife is doing a lot to protect its beautiful and natural
environment.  The island has made a commitment to individuals and
companies to go beyond the basics and protect the environment of
the island with aggressive tactics.

Some of the things they are currently doing include:

* To use water purification and its natural reserves from
underground.
* To promote recycling as a means to cut back on using natural
resources.
* To use desalination for non drinking water.
* Cutting back on carbon emissions.
* An elaborate bus network to minimize traffic on the island.
* To protect the habitat of tropical pilot whales, which is a
huge attraction for holiday-makers. 
* Zoning half of the islandas either a national park or nature
reserves.
* Promoting more renewable energy.

In addition to protecting the island's natural surroundings,
Tenerife is dedicated to preserving its heritage and culture.

Tenerife as a Role Model for Protecting the Environment

While we all have seen some of the effects of global warming,
Tenerife has taken action to protect the environment and retain
the beauty and reputation of the island. The steps they've taken
to reduce emissions and balance carbon in the air are ongoing and
under regular review.
