I promise to care for Scotland and the world's tomorrow. I will…
- Leave the car when I can and walk, cycle, paddle or use public transport instead.
- Hire an electric vehicle where possible and take advantage of the many charge points that are now available across Scotland.
- Check the green credentials of all of the businesses I use to travel, stay and explore.
- Enjoy the pure waters that run from the tap, not single-use bottles.
- Switch off the lights and look up at the stars.
Thank you for promising to keep Scotland special by exploring this incredible country responsibly.
