A few things you can do when traveling to a big event:

  • Bring containers for leftovers.
  • Use a refillable water bottle
  • Find hotels that have a recycle program
  • Keep those towels for the duration of your trip
  • Refuse straws before they appear in your drink.
  • Take showers, not baths
  • Turn off lights when you leave your room
  • Discover the local public transportation options
  • Take any leftover soap, shampoo, or toothpaste with you.
  • Buy locally made gifts for loved ones
  • Bring some reusable bags for shopping

These are just a few things you can do to be aware of your ecological footprint when traveling.  Why not love your environment at these events as well as those in attendance.
