6 Ways To Reduce Your Environmental Impact While Traveling

6 Ways To Reduce Your Environmental Impact While Traveling

Sustainable travel is creating new  experiences that can be maintained long-term without harming natural and cultural environments. Sustainable travel should minimize the negative impacts of tourism and ideally be beneficial to the area in which it takes place.

If we are privileged enough to travel, we have the responsibility of traveling in a way that honors the earth we’re exploring & benefits the people/place/wildlife we’re visiting. But it is also important to know that we all should take care of the earth always, even if we are not travelling.  We promote a sustainabe way of travelling but the most important thing is to live according to principles that respect Mother Earth each day. 

 

We can do a lot of things to travel responsible. We do not want to make and endless list. Just remind you 6 easy ways to reduce your environmemtal travel. Small things that will make a big difference!

 

1. Reduce Your Use of Single-Use, Disposable Plastics. Make the switch to reusable items, such as reusable water bottle, reusable shopping bag, and reusable cups. The best step is to start refusing plastic as much as you can every day.

 

2. During all the trip try to opt for sustainable tours at least during more than 2 days. Try not to use the car every single day and instead go walking, hiking, bike tour... 

 

3. Offset your carbon.  Planting trees for example is a great and easy solution. We have created our own company forest: : https://tree-nation.com/profile/pt-sulawesi-adventures-tours-travel.

 

4. Choose if possible sustainable accommodations. Or at least small hotels, guest house... owned by locals that care the planet.

 

5. Refuse cruelty or exploitation to animals. 

 

6. Zero waste! 

 

Together we can create a new and more sustainable way of travelling !
