Responsible Travel

Izmir or Smyrna is a Turkish metropolitan city in the western areas of Anatolia. The city ranks third as the most populated Turkish town after Istanbul; the capital, and Ankara; another significant metropolitan. Izmir is a vast city that has a human settlement history dating over 8,500 years. The city is also a crucial mercantile Mediterranean city that once hosted the Mediterranean Games in 1971.

Be Mindful: Izmir doesn't face significant pollution issues as the levels are at moderate levels at present. But this doesn't mean that you can just ignore the environment. You have to be mindful of your carbon footprint and of any of your actions that can potentially harms the environment.

Choose the right transport method: As a large metropolitan, the transportation system is very vast and efficient. You will find yourself preferring the rental car services and other personal motor vehicles, but try to avoid them at all costs.

They are also very efficient and are environment friendly through and through.

Carry metal straws and your own water bottle: This might seem insignificant but plastic straws and all the plastic bottles fill the landmines and contribute to millions of tonnes of waste every year. If every tourists plays their part by just taking these small steps then the level of pollution can be significantly reduced.

Support small businesses: The giant conglomerates and MNC's have been the major contributors to the problem of pollution and climate change due to their unsustainable business models. Small business and local artisans have more ethical business practices and a more sustainable business model. More often than not they do not get the recognition they deserve so always try to support these local businesses especially the artisans.

Air Quality and Pollution
