The Netherlands is a constitutional monarchy, located in northwestern Europe. Also called Holland, it borders the North Sea to the north and west, Belgium to the south, and Germany to the east.
The Netherlands is a densely populated and geographically low-lying country and is popularly known for its windmills, wooden shoes, dikes, tulips, bicycles, and social tolerance. Its liberal policies have received international attention, such as those concerning drugs, prostitution, same-sex marriage, abortion and euthanasia.
Al Gore's gripping documentary An Inconvenient Truth is a must-see because it explains, in very simple terms where we are headed and what kind of earth we are going to leave to our children if we don't take action.
I really credit this documentary to have raised my awareness about Global Warming along with Jared Diamond's book 'Collapse' and since then I don't see the World through the same lens. I do now take small actions in order to reduce greenhouse effects and at MP3Travel we have decided to provide you information on how to travel as green as possible.
They are already controversies about the fact that just traveling (by plane) is an act of polluting the planet. We believe that traveling is a necessity of our time and we can offset carbon emissions by carefully taking different types of actions.
This is the purpose of this 'Green Travel' section which I hope will help you travel more consciously and please, please, please watch Al Gore's documentary, it is really an eye-opener.
