The world around us is nature, people and technology, but nature is very vulnerable. Cutting down trees and rivers poisoned we losing natural riches, which probably does not ever.
I think that only when you have lost all natural resources, people will understand that to restore them is no longer possible. And then the people will understand that the money should be invested in order to clear the river and planting trees.
In our country, I think Latvia is a natural one problem - the natural contamination in the wood waste is dumped. It does not break down and stand in the ground for years. Not sorted waste, it is difficult to design.
Tourists are friendly to nature only when entertaining outdoors after he leaves the waste land. Tourists could be the model for those around, unless they are with their behavior does not endanger the natural health and natural resource wealth.

People and government in developmental countries could not think about future! Their first think is money and it is provided in Latvia. European Union helps our country to fight with poisoned. They gave our country rule what we need accept because we are in EU.
The biggest problem in Latvia is refuses. People did not sort refuses and by that Latvia is much polluted country with social refuses.
Radiation leak refuses are not popular, because in Latvia are not nuclear reactor.
I think eco-friendly tourist year by year will be popular and popular because tourists from other countries involve eco products and life without pollution.

Once the last tree is cut and the last river poisoned, you will find you cannot eat your money - I think that will happen in the future if humans won't start to think what are they doing , how they are ruin world around themselves. If it happen, humans will realize that they need it all back but maybe it will be to late.
In our country everywhere where you look can see the dust. Maybe government should left more dustbin and make an information about this problem in newspapers and TV. Also in our country are acid rain and air pullution. I think the couses of that are industrie, too much cars and other stuffs like that.
To be an aco-friendly tourist person have to use things that are friendly for nature. Also tourist have to clean up everything what they left behind.

I totally agree with it! I think natures around of us are very important, because if we don’t have nothing natural world don’t exist.

At the moment I think the biggest problems are about huge west quantity and forests mucks. In Latvia peoples are not sympathetic for waste sorting. If I have the opportunity to sort rubbish I do it and recommend doing my friends to. Because if we don’t do it we drowned in our rubbish.

In 18 of April in all country will be big waste collection bee. I hope in this activity participate many peoples and students and then many places will bee cleaner.
