The Green Passport Pledge
As a Green Passport Holder I acknowledge the interconnectedness of the world’s people and the environment. I pledge to explore and take into account the social and environmental consequences of studying, living, working, traveling, or volunteering abroad and will try to improve these aspects of my international experience. While overseas, and when I return home, I will do my best to:
• Minimize my impact on the environment;
• Act in culturally respectful ways;
• Engage with locals and participate in the local community;
• Give back to my host community(ies).
