Hurried flight connections and fast-paced highway traffic can cause even the most dedicated eco traveler to pause in confusion when it comes to reducing waste on the road. Here are tips to stay green on a budget.
DINING By choosing to eat inside instead of opting for takeout or drive-through food, you can skip the plastic packaging common to those travel meal options.
DECANTING Consider purchasing travel kits with small containers and dispense personal-care products such as moisturizer, nail polish remover, toner and more from the larger jars you already use at home.
SUPPLIES Bring at least one fabric shopping sack and a couple of mesh drawstring bags to shop for food and souvenirs. This will save you stacks of plastic bags over the course of a one- or two-week vacation. These supplies need not take up a great deal of luggage space.
