Z<\/span>ero Waste travel \u2014 is it possible? In our everyday lives, under regular circumstances and in familiar surroundings, reducing waste is not that difficult. But once you\u2019re on the road, or on vacation, your good intentions and habits are in danger of being thrown overboard. Because traveling interferes with normal routines, I\u2019ve compiled a list of eight easy-to-follow, Zero Waste travel ideas. <\/p>\n

Planning is essential \u2014\u00a0this doesn\u2019t only apply to itinerary and accommodation.<\/p>\n

Everything is different when you\u2019re traveling; you usually don\u2019t know your location well and your options may be limited. Living Zero Waste means being prepared and having foresight: If you want to avoid garbage while traveling you should plan ahead, but that\u2019s what you\u2019ll be doing for a trip most of the time anyway, right? So it\u2019s just a matter of considering a few more things.<\/p>\n

Destination<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The type of travel you do plays a huge role. If you\u2019re going on a road trip, you change locations often and need to keep adapting to new conditions, as opposed to if you have a set location, like a holiday home or hotel. If you\u2019re going on a short business trip or a day trip, it\u2019s of course easier to take your waste with you and recycle and dispose of it properly once you get home.<\/p>\n

Tickets & boarding passes<\/strong><\/h4>\n

One way to avoid waste prior to departure is to make sure you get a digital ticket for your flight, bus or train. So far I\u2019ve had no problems with train or bus tickets, and for flights, it\u2019s becoming more and more common to have your boarding pass on your smart phone or tablet.<\/p>\n
