Travel

• Plan your travel well and scan all options carefully (e.g. bus, train).
• Avoid air travel, if you can, and travel by land whenever possible. Especially avoid short-haul flights.
• If you need to fly, fly non-stop.
• Pack light; it also helps you avoid taking a taxi when you arrive.
• Purchase carbon offsets to compensate CO2 emissions.
• Don't print documents or tickets unless absolutely necessary.

On-site

• Choose eco-friendly and sustainable accommodation (e.g. passive housing).
• Make the most of your local surroundings in your host country instead of travelling far.
• Walk or bike short distances and use public transport instead of taking a car or taxi.
• Use a reusable bottle and avoid bottled water where tap water is safe to drink.
• Use resources responsibly (water, electricity etc.).
• Inform yourself about recycling options.
• Purchase from local suppliers (e.g. farmers market).
• Switch off A/C when not necessary.
• Use trains and other public transportation when exploring the host country.
• When travelling around, stay in eco-friendly accommodation and support sustainable tourism.
