1.Whenever possible, take the bus or the train
The main way to reduce our toxic emissions is to travel by bus or train, instead of taking the plane. In fact, travelling by bus instead of by plane can reduce your carboon footprint by up to 13 times, according to this study
And anyway the bus is much comfier than the plane and you can stop to stretch your legs! Our trips are always on bus – reserve yours now!!
2. Buy a reusable water bottle
I know how easy it is to just buy plastic water bottles but do you have any idea of the environmental impact of that? Plastic waste, related to tourism, has contributed to almost 11 million tonnes of plastic in our oceans
A resuable bottle could save o average, 156 plastic bottles per person per year. Now that is some serious sustainable decision making!
3. Spend more time in one place
Of course you want to tick as many places as you can off your bucket list, but to conserve the environment, a sustainable traveller should spend more time in one or a few places.
If you were to stay in one place, you could reduce your emissions a lot, learn more about each place and meet lots more people. Trust me, its worth it!
4. Find businesses and accomodation that promote sustainability
Although many comapnies support sustainable trips, many still don´t. Show that you care about sustainability by putting your money where you mouth is.
Remeber that a business isn´t inherently ´green´ or ´sustainable´ just because it says it is. Find our about their policies and rules and ask about their practices. Be inquisitive!
