A simple way to make sense of how our individual choices affect natural ecosystems is to analyze the life cycle of everyday products, amenities, or processes (e. g., t-shirts, electronics, food). Doing so can help us make better choices about what we consume. In this activity, you will analyze the life cycle of a product to assess the extent to which its production affects the environment.

When ecotourism is implemented successfully, it:

• Uses the financial gains of tourism to support the conservation and preservation of the environment,
• Encourages businesses in the tourist industry to implement “green” policies and practices in their daily operations,
• Challenges travelers to adopt mindfulness, awareness, and sensitivity to cultural and environmental needs around the world, and
• Benefits members of indigenous communities through economic growth.

Passengers can disembark for a day at ports of call (such as Anchorage, Ketchican, and Skagway) to experience the wildlife and nature in those habitats.
