Eco Friendly Travel Suggestions

Traveling in a sustainable way can have multiple benefits, both for our environment and for your own wallet. Start by using more eco-friendly methods of transportation such as walking, biking, carpooling, or taking the bus or train instead of driving and flying. Also try to stick to ethical tourism and shop for locally-made items instead of purchasing items made with materials that are damaging to the environment.

Make a conscious effort to limit the amount of distance you travel by considering alternative holiday destinations that don’t involve air travel. When you do fly, look for airlines with a policy on reducing carbon emissions and purchase carbon offset credits to make up for lost emissions. Other smart ways to reduce your carbon footprint while traveling include bringing your own reusable water bottle, eating local food, and packing light to avoid having to check-in luggage.
