20、long with the idea of sustainability (持续性). Whenever we travel-no matter where or how-we are leaving an impact on the environment and the world surrounding us. While sustainable tourism takes positive steps toward limiting that footprint in order for us to protect environments for future generations

21、, regenerative tourism takes this idea one step further.Regenerative tourism means “the idea that tourists should leave a place in better condition than it was before”. For example, when visiting a garden, each person plants a tree to further build the environment instead of leaving no trace (痕迹).In

22、 a way, regenerative tourism involves travelers to be active in their acts of sustainability. Another great example of this is any act of clean-up. This is especially popular on major beaches and in parks where theres always rubbish to pick up and waste to remove. While travelers certainly dont need

23、 to join in a community clean-up while on vacation (unless they want to), the idea of being involved is very much the same.Joining in regenerative tourism has personal and environmental benefits.

29、 its popularity among households D. The idea of sustainability takes root in all enthusiastic travelersDTheres no doubt that positive thinking impacts ones life. However, in recent years, Ive come to understand that perhaps positive thinking can result in toxic positivity, which has negative consequ

30、ences. What we should be aiming for instead is emotional validation (确认).Toxic positivity is the maintenance of positive thinking even in situations where it isnt appropriate. “It often comes at the risk of denying our own real feelings or the feelings of others,” says Nina Vasan, MD. While positive

31、 thinking in general is a great thing, toxic positivity isnt. Its the act of denying anything negative thats actually happening, and it can involve making people feel bad for having normal human emotions. Someone practicing toxic positivity might say things like “everything happens for a reason” or

32、“just look on the bright side” when a friend shares something difficult in his/her life.Vasan tells us that with toxic positivity, emotions like sorrow and anger are pushed aside. However, emotional validation allows you to have your feelings. To be exact, emotional validation is about allowing peop

33、le to experience their feelings and acknowledging that having negative feelings is real and often important. That doesnt mean it promotes and encourages negative thinking endlessly, though.Toxic positivity encourages us to focus only on the positive, which can stop us from dealing with the feelings

34、we need to work through. Practicing emotional validation is a healthier option for you and the ones you love. “This can be as simple as saying I understand youre really sad.” explains Vasan. Offering your understanding shows our loved ones that we care about their feelings. Besides, instead of telli

35、ng someone to look on the bright side, you should offer words and thoughts of support instead.Toxic positivity has become prevalent, and you probably know a lot of people who dismiss your negative experiences with statements like “Youre too sensitive”. Now you can say: Whatever youre feeling is temp

You have every right to feel upset and I am here for you.34. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in th
