Pack Light!<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

Limit your items to the things you need<\/a>. The heavier your luggage<\/a> or carry-on would be on a plane, train or automobile, the more fuel and greenhouse gases that will emit into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Choose eco accommodation<\/a><\/h5>\n

Do the research and stay at a hotel or resort that\u2019s ethical and responsible<\/a>. Reputable hotel brands such as Six Senses<\/a>, Soneva<\/a> & S-Resorts<\/a> have introduced eco-initiatives such as organic gardens<\/a> that provide a garden to plate culinary journey, composting and recycling<\/a>, no single-use plastic bottles or straws<\/a>, recycled construction materials, a bio water irrigation system<\/a> and a water refill station.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Eat and Shop local<\/a><\/h5>\n

Support and promote the communities in the area by making sure the places you eat have locally sourced produce and ingredients. By choosing local, you are minimising the carbon impact of mass food production.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Bring your own cup and cutlery<\/a><\/h5>\n

Avoid disposable packagings such as plastic forks and cups and bring a KeepCup or reusable tumbler for your drinks and\/or your own cutlery and straw when you\u2019re eating out. That way you can reduce the amount of plastic you\u2019re using and that means less trash going into landfill.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use public transport where you can<\/a><\/h5>\n

If you can help it, public transport is the eco-friendly option for getting around. Collective transportation consumption reduces the amount of carbon emissions by 55 -75 percent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Reduce your trash<\/a><\/h5>\n

Bring and dispose of any non-recyclable packaging in a small jar when you\u2019re travelling. The trash you will see in your waste jar will keep you disciplined and give you an idea you mindlessly dispose of each day.<\/p>\n
