1. Go Paperless!
Many Tour Operators provide their pilgrims with guidebooks, that gives them information and an itinerary for their trip.
Tour Operators can choose to print their guidebooks using recycled paper, or make sure that all their material is recyclable. They should avoid the use of laminated, glossy paper, receipts, letters, and any metal binding.
Another way to be eco-friendly is to be completely paperless. Pilgrims can be emailed a PDF of the guidebook, which can then be accessed on smartphones, and any other documents.
