As we head towards the busy season I thought I would put together a top 10 list on easy ways to travel greener.
1. Bring a reusable water bottle for each traveler instead of buying plastic bottles
2. If possible, use public transportation or walk instead of renting a car
3. If your hotel has a linen/towel program, make sure to take advantage of it
4. Bring your own toiletries instead of using those provided by the hotel
5. During the summer, turn off the air conditioner when you leave the room. It only takes a few moments to cool it off when you return.
6. Turn off lights when you leave the hotel/resort room
7. When planning to snorkel or other activities in environmentally sensitive areas, buy biodegradable sunscreen
8. Whenever possible, take direct flights to conserve energy. Most jetfuel is used during take-off
9. When going out to eat, try to support the local economy and eat at restaurants that are locally owned and operated.
10. Support hotels/resorts with a environmentally friendly agenda.
