Sustainable packing tips for the eco-friendly traveller

What should we take and what should we leave when we’re travelling? Consider the three sustainability Rs – reduce, reuse and recycle. Firstly, evaluate what you can reduce. How much of our luggage do we really need? And when aiming to be more sustainable, taking a little look at our lifestyles through a reuse and recycle lens is a winner. If you can’t make do or find what you want second-hand, then always try to invest in ‘good’ brands. A sustainable purchase might be made from eco-friendly, plastic-free materials, be sure to last for a long time, or support makers from marginalised communities. Living lighter, and being a more conscious consumer is what it’s all about.
