At Little America, we are committed to making a positive impact through tourism. Our goal is to reduce the environmental footprint of your travels while preserving the stunning natural beauty of Canada and the USA for future generations.
We go beyond just carbon offsetting — we actively support local businesses and environmental projects that promote sustainable travel practices.
From the start, we work to reduce the environmental impact of your trip by offering small-scale accommodations and activities that are far removed from mass tourism.
By staying in family-run accommodations, you’ll often enjoy seasonal food grown, collected, sold, and prepared by local communities. This not only supports the local and regional economies, but also funds environmental initiatives that help protect these landscapes and provide communities with the tools to improve their quality of life.
While every long-haul trip has an environmental impact, we work to reduce the carbon footprint of your holiday through verified climate protection projects. We offset emissions through United Nations Gold Standard programmes, alongside supporting environmental projects that help protect the planet and provide local populations with the tools to become more independent and self-sufficient.
These offset programmes support clean air initiatives, which improve the health of communities, reduce deforestation, and contribute to local economies. Additionally, these efforts help decrease premature deaths caused by respiratory diseases linked to air pollution.
Clean cookstove projects
An initiative that plays a critical role in both environmental protection and improving quality of life. Did you know that three billion people rely on open fires for cooking? These fires produce soot and smoke, which cause millions of deaths from respiratory diseases each year.
Open fires also contribute to deforestation, as large amounts of wood are burned for minimal heat. In many low-income countries, families spend up to a third of their income on cooking fuel, which all goes up in smoke.
At Little America, we are committed to transparency about our sustainability efforts. We believe in being clear about our actions and the impact they have.
We acknowledge the significant environmental footprint of air travel, and we take proactive steps to reduce its impact. We also promote slow travel by encouraging longer stays in fewer locations, which reduces overall travel-related emissions.
