When visiting Goa make it a point to travel sustainably

Carry your own water bottle/straws and cutlery

Starting off with small changes is always appreciated. Items like metal straws, forks and spoons can be carried along, so that you don’t add to the garbage that is already waiting to be collected.

Flexcia says, “Carrying a water bottle helps a lot. You can just refill it at the hotel you’re staying in instead of buying disposable bottles. I usually refuse disposable straws and just prefer sipping my drink from the glass, even while not travelling.”

She adds, “I have been re-using my travel jackets, luggage and backpacks, for years now. It’s always about re-using as much as possible and reducing buying stuff.”
