ECO-FRIENDLY TRAVEL TIPS FOR THE HOLIDAY SEASON
With the Summer holiday fast-approaching, it's about time to consider how to be more sustainable when travelling. We've gathered the best eco-friendly travel tips to help you plan ☀️ 🚴🏼♀️👇🏻
1- Consider offsetting your carbon emissions by purchasing carbon credits or supporting reforestation projects.
👉🏼 Through the airline you book. British Airways, for example, offer to purchase carbon credits to offset your carbon emissions.
👉🏼 You can also go for a tree planting plan depending on your activities and the carbon emissions you generate on a monthly basis. Take a look at Evertreen for example👇🏻 (https://evertreen.com/).
2- Pack light to reduce the weight of your luggage and carbon emissions from transportation.
👉🏼 Only pack the must-haves and not the nice-to-haves.
👉🏼 Bring versatile instead of special-case items.
👉🏼 Reduce toiletries and avoid plastic-heavy ones. Take a look at our on-the-go powdered body wash, the most portable body wash you've ever met, refillable forever and offering 30 showers + per refill.
3- Bring a refillable water bottle to reduce plastic waste.
👉🏼 Take a look at brands like Chillys (https://www.chillys.com/uk/), Rebo Bottle (https://www.rebo-bottle.com/) or Ocean Bottle (https://oceanbottle.co/) which all offer great reusable bottles.
