Without all the comforts of home, it can be difficult to travel sustainably. Nevertheless, if you bring the right items you can be surprisingly eco-friendly while traveling around the world.
Here are the top items that should be in every sustainable traveler’s inventory.
Reusable Water Bottle
The most obvious sustainable item is a reusable water bottle. This can cut down on the number of plastic bottles you need to use.
Water to Go Water Bottle
The best way is to invest in a sustainable Water to Go water bottle. It costs around $30 and filters out all the germs and bacteria so you can drink the water anywhere you go! Each bottle can be used instead of up to around 400 plastic water bottles.
Mesh Baggies
These mesh fruit or vegetable bags are excellent for shopping in markets and storing groceries. The fibers are biodegradable and meet the Global Organic Textile Standards.
Shampoo Bars
Shampoo bars can be used for washing your hair wherever you are instead of buying endless supplies of plastic bottled shampoos.
Toothpaste Tabs
These little tabs can be used instead of the plastic travel toothpaste tubes – and can last a bit longer to.
