3 Tips For Travelling Sustainably

It's time to think about how we can be more eco-friendly in our everyday lives - including when we're travelling! Here are three easy tips for travelling sustainably without sacrificing any of the fun.

1. Do your research. 

Before you even start packing your bags, take some time to research the area you'll be visiting. Are there any eco-friendly initiatives that you can support? What are the locals doing to reduce their impact? See if there are any sustainable tourism options available, such as home-stays or ecotourism activities. Not only will this help you to have a more sustainable trip, but it will also give you a deeper insight into the culture and community you're visiting.

2. Cut down on plastic. 

One of the easiest ways to be more sustainable when you travel is to reduce your use of plastic. This means avoiding single-use water bottles and straws and packing reusable items like cups, utensils, and shopping bags. It might take a bit of extra planning, but it's worth it for the planet's sake! Plus, it can also save you money in the long run. 

3. Offset your carbon footprint. 

Another way to reduce your travel impact is to offset your carbon footprint. This can be done by taking public transportation instead of renting a car or choosing airlines offering carbon offsets. You can also purchase carbon offsets directly from websites like Carbonfund.org. Just a few simple steps can make a big difference! 

With a little planning, it's easy to have a sustainable trip that doesn't sacrifice any of the fun. You can explore the world without harming the planet by doing your research, cutting down on plastic, and offsetting your carbon footprint. So what are you waiting for? Start planning your next eco-friendly adventure today!
