Sustainable Travel Tips

Sustainable Travel Tips

Posted by Hannah Latty on

As travelers, it's important to take responsibility for our actions' impact on the environment and local communities. However, sustainable travel doesn't have to require significant sacrifices, it can be a casual and enjoyable experience that enriches our travels while giving a positive contribution to the planet.

Pack Light

Travel with just the essentials to reduce your carbon footprint. The more weight your transportation carries, the more fuel used.

 

Eco-Friendly Lodging

Look for hotels, lodges, and resorts that are committed to sustainability, whether through green certifications, energy-efficient practices, or other sustainable initiatives.

 

Public Transportation

Live like a local and opt for public transportation like buses, trains, and metros instead of taxis or rental cars. If renting a vehicle, consider an electric or hybrid car to reduce emissions.

Support Local

Support local businesses and communities by eating at local restaurants, shopping at local markets, and participating in local tours. Support the local economy and reduce the carbon footprint of imported goods.

Bring Reusable Items

Bring your reusable water bottles, utensils, and containers. Refillable water bottles and food containers reduce the amount of single-use plastics you throw away while traveling.
