"I think it's a very good idea to make students more aware while
they're traveling. The more enlightened they are when they travel
the better -- this will help them focus on things that they might
not otherwise be thinking about." - Greg Gangi, Director of
Academic Programs at UNC's Institute for the Environment.
“I'm not here to teach others what I know, but I work to understand how green values can find their place in this culture, in this economic system, and into the minds of the Turkish people. …The Green Passport initiative supports issues that I strongly believe in. Anything that spreads this wisdom of sustainable and responsible travel is admirable, and this is a fun way to participate.” - Alice Starr Dworkin, Beloit College
“I am really passionate about being mindful of our impact on the planet. I think the Green Passport program will remind me to make careful and informed choices, and pass some ideas along to others who may be interested!” - Emma Katherine Chiyoko Dines, University of Waterloo
“I think it is easy to justify our use and abuse of the Earth, even if through minor acts, as necessary for our progress and convenience. This is especially true when traveling in a new place for a short time, where our environmental impact there seems almost trivial. I want to push myself to be more conscious of my impact now so that ‘going green’ will become ‘being green’ and, wherever my life drives me, it will more naturally involve service to both humankind and the environment that bears us.” Hayley White, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
“Hurricane Katrina devastated my family. Not only is my Mom from New Orleans, but I had family living there at the time of the hurricane who lost both their homes and lives. I saw what climate change can do, and I do not want that to happen to any one else.” - Ali Rivera, Ithaca College
“As students from the U.S., we are privileged in many ways, especially in being able to study abroad. We have the power and the duty to not only take responsibility for our actions, but also to make choices that will have positive impacts on the country we visit.” - Charlene Rose Mangi, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
