One aspect to take into consideration when trying to help is also related to travel, given that it too can become eco-sustainableand consequently not just be fun, but also conscious choices.
An eco-friendly trip: what to think about
First of all, you need to know that the means of transport you choose of using can have a huge impact on carbon emissions during travel.

There are in fact green hotels that use renewable energy and have water saving and recycling policies. Another excellent choice could be a farm, given that in addition to support the local economy it will be possible to consume food produced at zero kilometers.
When you are traveling the perfect time to try to reduce waste to a minimum and waste and for this very reason you can choose reusable water bottles and containers. Several areas also have refill points for drinking water and as a result it will also be a saving. There are other products that can be brought with you without packaging, such as those for personal care such as natural soap or solid shampoo. Furthermore, it can be a good idea every time you go on a trip to find out about the recycling practices of your destination and follow the local rules.
