The project

THE GREEN TRIP is an initiative to set an example to the tomorrow's travelers, by doing a responsible and eco-friendly travel.

We therefore plan to do a “responsible and eco-friendly travel” in Australia during two months (July and August 2015).

Our action : picking up litter on our way (at our own level, of course) and then entrust them to local recycling companies.
Our goal : is to make the travelers aware of the importance of conserving a clean and intact environment.

We have two assignments: taking action by cleaning up and spreading the word.

Together we can make a difference. This project is open to all volunteers. We want to organize community clean-up during our travel. By encouraging backpackers and travelers to join us, we can have a bigger impact on the environment.

Every action counts, including small-scale, including the reflex for everyone to pick up litter on them way.

And we are efficient! You want a proof? Watch this video of ouf last clean up at Castle Rock beach...

Our main aim is to raise people awareness on preservation concerns to set a good example. We will share our project, our daily actions on our website and by using third-party social media such as Facebook and Instagram.

We want to take pictures before and after of beautiful places which turned into a rubbish dump to touch people’s hearts and create an online community using hashtags (#keepozclean). This way, we would like to encourage people to follow our action.

The main goal of this project is to help preserve our beautiful planet for generations to come. Our motivation is that travelers care about the planet and join our movement. So The Green Trip’s next challenge will be to create a responsible travel e-book. This guide book will provide some tips and recommendations for a responsible travel in Australia: how to recycle and where, how to reduce waste, etc… With this guidebook, travelers could travel in a responsible way and have a positive impact on the Australian environment.

We choose to hire a campervan to travel. It is an affordable and practical way to travel in Australia. The van will be “our home”, for two months. The campervan isn’t the best environmentally-friendly alternative however we can reduce our environmental impact by using the best practices, like sharing our van with other travelers.

Thanks to Getaboutoz for their goodwill gesture

We have also planned our itinerary. You can find it with the major cities, below. But our goal is to stop in polluted places and sites. You will be able to find all our stops in the section "day after day".
