Talking Ethics in the Ethosphere
Travel Blog • Jim Benning • 06.03.03 | 3:04 PM ET
Should Americans abroad always come clean about their nationality, or, fearing ill will, is it okay for them to lie and claim to be Canadian? Are some cruise ships more environmentally friendly than others? Those and other issues are now being debated on the newly created Ethical Traveler message board, Ethosphere. It promises to be a thought-provoking forum. “We hope that our many members—from 17 countries—will use this discussion board to share tales about travel
in these skittish times, and to focus attention on situations that might impact our decisions about where to travel,” founder Jeff Greenwald wrote in a recent e-mail. The message board is but one component of Ethical Traveler’s mission. As the veteran travel writer told World Hum in a recent interview, “I’d like [Ethical Traveler] to be a community of like-minded travelers that uses its collective power to address and improve environmental and human rights issues around the world.”
