Global Gathering Sustainable Travel Tips

To continue to align with our Goals for Good, each choice you make contributes to reducing your carbon footprint while traveling:

• Packing lightly can improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions, as lighter loads require less energy to transport
• When possible, use public transport such as buses, trains, or trams over renting cars or taking taxis, when possible, to significantly lower your carbon emissions
• Engage with local businesses by dining at local restaurants or purchasing indigenous products to foster sustainable community development
• Don’t forget your Keep-Cup, your water bottle and shopping bag to significantly reduce single-use plastic your travels
• Respect natural habitats by adhering to designated trails, maintain a respectful distance from wildlife, and choose activities that are non-invasive to local ecosystems
• Conserve water by taking shorter showers and reusing towels and linens during hotel stays, reducing the water and energy used for frequent laundering
• Reduce your meat consumption by opting for plant-based meals to help decrease the carbon footprint related to food production and transport, especially reducing the intake of red meat
• Continue to learn about sustainable practices and share this knowledge with other travelers to inspire broader, collective action for sustainable travel
