1. Minimize Single-Use Plastics: Bring reusable alternatives, such as:

• Reusable water bottles with built-in filters
• Silicone snack bags and beeswax wraps for food storage
• Collapsible travel mugs and stainless steel straws

2. Pack Light: The lighter your luggage, the lower the carbon emissions from transportation. Opt for multi-purpose clothing and pack only what you need.

3. Choose Sustainable Transport:

• Use trains, buses, or carpool services when possible
• Rent hybrid vehicles for road trips
• Offset your flight’s carbon emissions through verified programs

4. Support Local:

• Eat at locally-owned restaurants and shop at farmers’ markets
• Stay in eco-lodged with small-scale hosts who prioritize sustainability

5. Practice Leave No Trace Principles:

• Pack out all trash, even biodegradable items like food scraps
• Stay on marked trails to protect delicate ecosystems
• Respect wildlife by keeping a safe distance and not feeding animals
