a) Eating only organic food is expensive, so I don't think I could afford it while travelling. |  | b) Zero waste sounds too hard for me because I still need to use basic products when I travel.
c) I changed my travel plans this year because of your amazing eco-adventure! |  | d) No TV, no hair tools? That sounds boring, so I will never go there.
e) I love this story because it shows how travel can help the environment and local people.
| f) I'm now cooking local food when I travel because of your idea to support small farms.
g) Collecting eggs and living with animals sounds amazing, so I'm definitely adding an eco-lodge to my bucket list!
