You can do some good for the Earth while you’re traveling to distant lands — or even just a few miles from home.
Here are a few ways recommended by the European hotel group Green Pearls:
- When you’re visiting new places, use public transportation or walk, when possible, rather than driving. You’ll see more and help keep pollutants out of the air.
- Find out about beach or forest clean-ups in the area and pitch in.
- At your hotel, waive daily housekeeping. Reuse your towels when possible. Some hotels offer a donation to sustainability-minded organizations for each day you pass on having your room cleaned.
- As a day’s excursion, get to know the destination and meet some locals by getting involved in tree-planting campaigns.
Every little bit helps.
