As environmentally-conscious as you may be at home, nobody wants to put themselves in a
box when they go on vacation. People want to relax, kick back and let go of the pursuits of
their everyday life.
We’re not here to ask you to be an ultra-disciplined environmental-robot. Instead we want to
show you how truly EFFORTLESS it is to conserve and sustain your eco-friendly habits even
when you go on vacation.
Here are 6 things you can do:
Choose Eco-Friendly Hotels
No matter where you stay, whether you’re an airbnb person or a hotel person, there’s always
places you can find that make the environment a priority. You can easily find eco-friendly accommodations on sites like. ecoanb.com or greenpearls.com
Follow The No-Trace Policy
Make sure that wherever you go, you keep track of what you’re disposing of. There’s no
need to throw trash on the beach. Your trek doesn’t need to be a trail of wrappers left along
the way. Like a ninja, make sure to leave no trace on the environment that you trespass.
Reduce Your Travel Carbon-Footprint
The simplest way to accomplish this is by choosing a non-stop flight to your destination. You
don’t wanna add unnecessary stops along the way to add on to your carbon karma. You
should also try to fly economy as more people per flight equals fewer emissions per person.
Use Public Transport or Bicycles or Walk on Foot
When you’re out and about on your vacation destination, feel free to use a bike or walking as
a means to slow everything down and take in the scenery of the destination. It will not only
cut down your emissions but also help you appreciate everything way more. And as an
added bonus, you can use it as a way to help burn those holiday calories!
Eat Sustainably: Support Local Businesses
It wouldn’t make any sense to travel to a beautiful, mystical locale and order Chick-Fil-A.
Instead check out the local food flavours from smaller joints. Buy items that are handcrafted
by local craftsmen, they’ll appreciate it and so will mother nature.
Engage in Green Activities
There’s no greater way to help you appreciate your surroundings and enjoy your trip better
than basking in the glory of nature. Try hiking, scuba diving or horseback riding instead of
riding a dune buggy or a jet ski for hours on end.
Bonus tip for you eco friendly vacations activities are of learning local about local food by taking cooking classes. A great way to meet people!
We hope that you give these a shot. They’re as low effort and convenient as it gets. These
are six ways you can not only help the environment but also make the most of your trip!
