Hi @Lorina14 😊, 

That’s fantastic.

I’m glad you have a friend you can count on when you’re away, that’s so precious!

Hi @Bhumika and @Elisa this seems a great plan and an adoption option based on understanding and acceptance. Love to copy and circualte with friends, family and of course my host community.

Personally, though I love to be included in all the listed ones - I like to call myself the "Practical Eco-Planner". wish to hear more from the hosting community.

Happy Hosting 😇

Hi @Dr-Jayanthi1 😊, 

It’s nice to read from you here!

Which practices do you follow at home for your guests based on the game?

I’d love to understand this better. 😍

[Laurelle3]

@ElisaFun questions. The only problem I had I had several answers when I did each group, and the outcome was divided with

Mostly C – Grassroots Greenie

Mostly E – Practical Eco-Planner

Hi @Laurelle3 😊, 

thank you for participating.

That’s amazing! What kinds of local practices do you follow to be more sustainable?

[Tonia687]

This is very strange.  I live my life without worrying about eco anything.  I use common sense and turn off lights and things we aren't using, using the least amount of energy is what people normally do since it saves money.  Our family and our comfort are what matter, though, not something I hear out of a politician's mouth or see online. 

I refuse to suffer for anyone and I certainly won't be telling my family to take shorter showers (??!) or suffer either, showers are as long as they need to be for us to get clean and enjoy the hot water.  

 Don't worry, be happy.

Hi @Tonia687 😊, 

Thank you for sharing your perspective on this topic.

We can definitely start with small gestures to make a difference.

Do you think your guests are also mindful about turning off the lights when they’re not needed?

[Tonia687]

Thanks @Elisa , but you don't seem to understand.  I am not making any changes to my life for eco anything.  Common sense requires using the least energy needed, already, we don't need to make changes.

I love this idea of eco personas! Mine came out as a Practical Eco-Planner, which feels pretty accurate. I try to think long-term and make choices that are both sustainable and convenient. Even for travel, I look for options that align with that mindset—**. It’s all about finding balance between everyday needs and caring for the planet

That’s awesome @Jack3023 ! Being a Practical Eco-Planner sounds like a great way to approach daily life and travel 😍

Do you often use public transport as part of your efforts to travel sustainably?
