Eco Atlas empowers you to make better lifestyle and travel choices for the planet, your family, your business and yourself. South Africa's all-inclusive eco ethic platform provides a unique search function which enables you to find places to eat, shop, stay and play according to the priorities that are important to you as a conscious traveller and active citizen.
There are so many people and places creating positive change and walking the talk of social justice and regenerative practices and Eco Atlas provides you with the map to find them. Expect to find hotels which recycle, restaurants serving ethical food or activities that empower the local community with profir share. Using the twenty Eco Choice icons you will be able to see at a glance who is achieving sustainable goals and make informed decisions about where to go, or be inspired to source locally produced and earth-friendly goods.
Eco Atlas is the first of its kind in South Africa in that it provides you with both the social and environmental achievements of places and highlights businesses that are making a difference. Any business can be listed as long as they meet at least three of the Eco Choice criteria.
Knowledge is power, put the power of choice back in your hands and, find what you’re looking for (and if you can't find it, Recommend a Place you love and help grow the eco ethic movement!)
