Well, don’t really take your old newspapers and empty soda cans with you. But do bring your environmental ethics.
We’re all a little bit different on the road than we are at home. But that doesn’t mean that it’s okay to be a green-lovin’ environmentalist who wouldn’t dare use a disposable paper cup for a latte on the home front, and a McDonald’s take-out grubber abroad.
It’s not easy to be green when you’re traveling. Dirty tap water, tight luggage space, and quick travel all make reusing products extraordinarily difficult.
You don’t have to be perfect, but there’s resources out there to help you be better. The Go Green Travel Center is a whole website dedicated to green-friendly travel, offering suggestions for transport and trips, plus other tips for travelers all shades of green.
