Here is their 6 quick tips for responsible travel:

    * “Buy local produce in preference to imported goods
    * Hire a local guide - you’ll discover more about local culture and lives, and they will earn an income
    * Do not buy products made from endangered species, hard woods or ancient artefacts
    * Respect local cultures, traditions and holy places - if in doubt ask advice or don’t visit
    * Use public transport, hire a bike or walk when convenient - its a great way to meet local people on their terms and reduce pollution and carbon emissions
    * Use water sparingly - its very precious in many countries and tourists tend to use far more than local people
    * Remember that local people have different ways of thinking and concepts of time, this just makes them different not wrong - cultivate the habit of asking questions (rather than the Western habit of knowing the answers)” (from keetsa.com)
Romans 10:9
"That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved."
