Fight plastic! 2018

Kolibri Expedions New Years resolution.

Half way through January already, but it is not too late to make a commitment. If you still don’t have a specific one regarding health, exercise or your birding goals, perhaps you would be interested to join us on a campaign not to use unnecessary plastic. Make a statement for our planet. Forthcoming, in preparation, there will be a blog post about plastic waste in Peru

I was spending the new year’s eve in Punta Arenas, Chile.  There, since two years in many parts of the country, plastic bags in supermarkets are banned.  Much to my surprise and totally unprepared for this when I went to the supermarket the other day. The supermarket bag packer asked for your brought bags to pack the purchased items. The lady in front of me put her hands in her pockets and quickly took out her bags made out of recycled bags made from PET bottles.
We must all chip in to be an inspiration in this sense. Make a difference! Change start with oneself. Become a model.
So from Kolibri Expeditions we shall do several things to limit the use of plastic in 2018.

• Shopping for groceries with recycled bags. Hopefully, with our own logo on these bags soon.
• Equip all our vehicles and our outsourced vehicles with water filters so that filtered water can be supplied to our clients.
• Provide clients with reusable water bottles to use during the trip if they have not brought their own.
• Provide lists of hotels and restaurants that supply filtered water for drinking, rather than selling plastic bottles.
• Educate our staff to say no to plastic cups, straws, pre-sliced cheese, etc, that use more plastic than necessary.
• Educate our clients and the general public about plastic abuse. We shall blog and use social media to get more people to join the movement against the use of disposable plastic.

Join us, and let us know what you will do to make the world a better place in 2018.

Happy New Year!

We at Kolibri Expeditions would like to wish you a very Happy New Year 2018. We are gearing up for our most intense year ever, celebrating 20 years. We provide tours to fit your schedule and your budget, welcoming all types of birders and bird photographers.
