3. Buy locally sourced food for a more sustainable meal and support local business. Keep an eye out for local markets and don’t forget to bring a reusable bag. Supporting local business while you are traveling can help the economy and sustainability!
4. Consider alternative transportation. Instead of driving or taking a taxi, consider taking public transportation, walking, or biking instead. Biking can be a great option to reduce your carbon footprint while enjoying the local scenery!
5. Find eco-friendly tourist options. While vacationing, try to do activities that are enjoyable and don’t strain the environment, such as biking or swimming.

2. Look for a sustainably certified hotel or hostel to reduce your carbon footprint while traveling. Book Different is a great way to find sustainable places to stay during your trip. When traveling in the U.S., check to see if the hotel has LEED Certification from the U.S. Green Building Council. The program judges hotels on sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, material selection, indoor environmental quality, and innovation in design.
