By learning how to reduce waste and support local communities.
One day, Yukiko was looking for an eco-tourism adventure. A travel agent said, "You should go to the Galapagos islands." Yukiko was excited by the idea. A few weeks later, Yukiko was on an island. A tour guide was showing her how to clean up trash on the beach. The next day, she was watching a giant tortoise walking on the sand. She was feeling happy.
I agree. I know there's too much trash in the ocean, and it's dangerous for fish and other sea life. So, we need to clean up the ocean and throw away trash properly.
Yes, I think it's important to travel and see other countries because we can learn about different cultures. Also, we can see many interesting things that we can't see in Japan.
