I know everyone is excited to jet off to some place new, whether a tropical island getaway or a road trip back to your hometown. Here is a list of a few things that will help your spring break experience be the best it can be- without harsh effects on the environment.
1 Carbon Offsets from TerraPass
It’s no surprise that everyone traveling is most likely getting there via fossil fuel. Currently, there are not too
many ways around that one, but there is a way to help decrease your travel footprint. Purchase Carbon offsets from one of the best providers, TerraPass.
2. Natural Sunscreen
It is essential to protect your skin from the harsh rays of the sun, but who knows where many sunscreens are derived from? Consider buying natural sunscreens like those offered by sunology.com, which are composed of all natural ingredients.
3. Switch Up your Suit
Many of us are quick to go back to the same trusted retailers over and over again for our swimsuit selections. However, there are many options available to find suits made from organic fabrics, bamboo, and even recycled materials! Check out this article on thedailygreen.com about sustainable swimsuits.
4. Ditch the Dirty Duffle
Many suitcases are comprised of many different synthetic materials- consider purchasing a case made from all recycled materials like these offered by heysusa.
5. Muscle Powered Fun
Many resorts offer free recreational equipment like kayaks, paddleboards and wind surfing equipment. Save yourself the money and CO2 emissions by opting to use these things instead of renting jetskis or motorboats. If you’re going to be at home, consider riding your bike around town instead of driving everywhere. It’s good exercise too!
So Collegiettes, wherever you’re going, let loose, have fun, and do what you can to keep all of those amazing destinations beautiful!
