Travel Responsibly
As travelers, we have a responsibility to minimize our environmental impact. Here are practical ways to make your travels more sustainable without sacrificing the experience.
Choose Eco-Friendly Transportation
When possible, opt for trains over planes for shorter distances. A train journey from London to Paris produces about 90% less CO2 than flying.
Support Local Communities
Stay in locally-owned accommodations, eat at local restaurants, and purchase souvenirs from local artisans. Your tourism dollars have more impact when they stay in the community.
Reduce Plastic Usage
Bring a reusable water bottle, shopping bag, and toiletry containers. Many destinations now have water refill stations for tourists.
Offset Your Carbon
Consider carbon offset programs for unavoidable flights. Many airlines now offer this option during booking.
