Use Public Transport
One way to be as eco-friendly on vacation is to use public transport rather than your own vehicle. If you want to take things one step further, why not use bikes if you can?
Eat Locally
You’re on vacation. This is a chance to try out the local cuisine. Not only can you enjoy new meals, but you can help cut down air miles, too.
Feel Like Home
This goes for staying in any hotel. Just because you are away, doesn’t mean you need fresh towels every day or to leave the lights on all the time.
Avoid Plastic
If you want to be an eco-friendly traveler, then why not take a cotton bag with you? This can be great for visits to the market. Plus, reusable, filtered water bottles can also make a difference.
Choose Small Groups
Heading out on tours can be a great way to see the local area. Opting for smaller groups usually means you make less of an impact on the environment – and you could learn more, too!
The Bottom Line
So, should you cut down on vacation to be more eco-friendly? Of course, not heading away every other week certainly helps, but there are still ways that we can travel and reduce our carbon footprint.
While many of us love a vacation, most of us want to help the planet any way that we can. Now is the time to think about how to make your trip more eco-friendly to make sure you can still see the world.
