Vent: My eco-lodge stay in Costa Rica was just greenwashing, and it ticks me off
I booked a trip to an eco-lodge that promised zero carbon emissions. But when I got there, they were using diesel generators and had single-use plastics everywhere. It made me see how much travel companies lie about being green. We need honest steps, not just pretty ads.

Green travel is mostly just talk, no action.

Places keep pushing eco tourism ads but still build giant resorts and extra airport runways. They want the green label without changing how things actually work for visitors. The whole system needs a redesign, not just new slogans. What would make a place truly drop the bad habits for good?

Ugh this hits hard. I used to totally buy into those glossy eco resort ads, thinking it was progress. Then I saw a place I loved as a kid get totally paved over for a "green" hotel complex. It made me realize real change means saying NO to some money and big builds, full stop. They need to cap visitor numbers and actually listen to the locals, not just sell a pretty lie.
