]]>Avoid Flying When Possible
Sometimes flying is unavoidable, but if you are in an area where there are other transportation options, use those. Planes are the largest contributor to carbon emissions in the tourism industry, so if you can take a bus or a train to your destination, that would make a huge difference!
Conserve Energy in Accommodations
You already know it’s important to lower the thermostat and turn off lights when you leave a room, but sometimes it’s easy to forget these simple things when you stay in a new place. Make sure to keep up with all of your usual sustainability habits even if you are in an Airbnb or hotel!
Eat Local Foods
This one is a great (and fun) way to reduce your carbon footprint because it’s probably something you already plan on doing! Eating local usually means the food is locally sourced and therefore didn’t cause huge emissions in transport. This supports local business AND a happy environment. BONUS: Eating local food is a great way to learn about a new place!

Try to Go Direct
The fewer flights you fly on, the smaller your carbon footprint on the world will be. With this in mind, if at all possible, try to travel to places with direct connections with whatever your home airport is in order to only feel your impact felt on one flight instead of multiple ones.
(@wolvgram)Carbon Offsetting
Most airlines nowadays offer up an option to customers to “carbon offset” the environmental impact of their flights. This usually comes in the form of a monetary donation made to organizations that serve to plant trees and other vegetation to remove CO2 from the air.
Only Fly When Necessary
Flying is sometimes a necessary option for travel, but it doesn’t always have to be done when more eco-friendly options are available. For example, if you are thinking about flying from Washington DC to Boston, why not ride the Amtrak train instead, a much more eco-friendly option?
