Top 5 Green Outdoor Activities
By: PJ on 06 12, 2008
Outdoor activities that are people-powered (such as camping and kayaking) are naturally green. You can expand your environmental horizons when you visit other places by planning activities around the area’s natural resources or learning about the local ecosystem and how to conserve it. Here are five of my top green oudoor activities that I plan on doing in the next few years:
Volunteer to teach English and eco-consciousness in Thailand or Laos
Horseback riding and interpretive nature hikes in the red rocks of Sedona, Arizona
View endangered sea turtles in St. Croix
A professional birding and wildlife holiday in East Africa
Dive with sharks and learn about conservation efforts in Fiji
These are my destinations of choice–where would you go? What kind of activities do you consider “green. Let me know.

There’s lots of activities, but if it were up to me I’d navigate various rivers (ie. the Riachuelo in Argentina), dragging the river’s bottom with a big heavy net. You can’t imagine the amounts of rubbish on the bottom. And come on, who dislikes sailing?
It’d be the true fishing game. And believe me, no fish can live in such heavily polluted rivers. It would be a good step towards cleaning them.
Cheers!
