Rewards for tourists in Copenhagen 🌱 Tourists will be rewarded with free food and activities if they participate in tasks including litter-picking (good luck finding any litter...), traveling by public transport, or cycling around the 546km of bicycle paths. This program relies on honesty, as attractions won't require concrete evidence of your green activity. However, some locations might ask for a simple photo (e.g. you riding a 🚴🏻♀️) or proof of using public transport. Participation in this pilot scheme is voluntary for businesses like museums, rooftop bars, and even kayaking charities. What's crazy is that the government won't be reimbursing them for offering these discounts. Despite the lack of reimbursement, 24 organisations have already joined the initiative 💚 Image: sustainable power plant with a ski slope on the roof #coppay #denmark #ecotourism #greentech #climatetech
