Costing the Earth - A Clean Break

Logo for Costing the Earth - A Clean Break

Ecotourism is a tired concept, but so-called green holidays are becoming increasingly popular and the travel industry is using the idea to market a growing range of products of highly dubious environmental benefit. This programme challenges the notion that one's conscience can be salved by offsetting the carbon used on a flight to a turtle reserve. It also finds that it might well be better for the planet to fly to Benidorm than try camping in Wales.
