Travellers of the Earth - Manifesto
Thursday. 5.28.09 6:52 am
Travel is about freedom and new experiences, about discovering others as well as ourselves. It is also a unique opportunity to promote and develop initiatives to bring people together and make a better world.

Together we face a great challenge, Climate Change, that has the potential to irrevocably change our society and destroy the environment around us. It threatens the lives of hundreds of millions of inhabitants of our planet. Solidarity and cooperation between people across the globe is the only way we can overcome this challenge. Then maybe, not only we will be able to address the current crisis, but we may also lay the foundations of a just, responsible and sustainable society.
We, Travellers of the Earth, are aware both of our freedom to travel and of its impact. We love planet Earth, and therefore believe that through our journeys we must share and raise awareness of the relationship between humans and our planet, in order to help protect it.

* We believe that new energy policies and practices are necessary, utilising renewable, sustainable energy sources and energy efficiency, without resorting to nuclear power.

* We believe new social and economic policies and practices are necessary to address the inequities dividing the global north and the south, the wealthy minority at the expense of the majority.

* We believe that Western consumerism should no longer be the social and economic model for the rest of the world. We need a global society that is in harmony with the natural capacity of our planet.

This is urgent! Therefore we commit ourselves to :

1. A journey that has a meaning, purpose and an identity - it is not just a holiday;

2. A carbon neutral or lightweight journey, by land and sea whenever possible;

3. A journey without unethical financing (no green-washing);

4. A journey shared with local communities: through participation in or promotion of local actions (Eg. Addressing climate change; Strengthening human rights; contributing to social welfare�);

5. A journey shared with all, especially children, our planet�s future; using diverse media, more than solely our own websites, to spread our message.

If you agree with this manifesto and its 5 principle commitments, join our community by posting it on your website and adding links to the other members� websites.

Kunming
Tuesday. 1.22.08 5:38 am
Now I am in Kunming, Yunnan elevation about 1800m I am told it is supposed to be cold here but it is warm and sunny I just I got lucky. I am also told that kunming is a cold dusty city but i didn't get the impression at all I think it is definately more of an art community here. Tonight I will be going to Lijiang about 8 hours south by bus elevation about 3000m - there must have snow at least I am told. I learned to not ask Chinese friends for advice as to where to go. The most popular places should be avoided including the peak times as I am told that Lijiang is nice in may june. I will see tomorrow how lijiang is.
