Cleaner Water, Greener Travel

Some of the Earth’s most popular destinations are located near vulnerable rivers, lakes and oceans. Heavy tourism visitation to these regions can lead to water pollution, soil degradation and water scarcity. By choosing Rainforest Alliance Verified™ destinations, you can reduce your impact on land and waterways, and support responsible tourism businesses.


	Sounds of Sustainability This fall, the Rainforest Alliance is teaming up with Lipton and Reverb for the Campus Consciousness Tour (CCT). Part-music tour and part-environmental consciousness movement, this year’s CCT features popular indie-rock band Grouplove plus a pop-up eco-village with giveaways, educational opportunities and games at every tour stop.						FSC Friday Our friends at the Forest Stewardship Council are preparing to celebrate FSC Friday on September 27th. The annual awareness-raising campaign is a reminder to look for the FSC logo when you shop for wood and paper products. Join the celebration! The Rainforest Alliance is the foremost certifier of the FSC standard for socially, environmentally and economically sustainable forestry. We have certified more than 182 million acres (an area the size of Turkey) of forestland around the world.
