Educating travelers to lessen negative impacts on ecosystems

Since 1971, conservation efforts have ensured that Block Island’s nature remains wild. As more land is preserved and more visitors arrive, the island relies on education to keep natural areas from being trampled. The “How to Love Block Island” initiative teaches visitors how to reduce their impact. The campaign is promoted online, on solar trash cans and in coloring books distributed at restaurants. One quarter of Block Island’s tourism budget pays for local services and initiatives working on sustainability, including ConserFest, a music festival for eco-awareness on the island. Funds also support the medical center, which gets crowded during peak summer months.

                  An individual only needs information to be stressed and communicated and an appeal to the mind to do the right thing
