It's not difficult to travel sustainably, it's just about being aware of what you're doing. Here are some tips to get you started.

Your choice of transport is the first and most important thing you can do to travel sustainably. If you choose to fly, you must be aware of how much CO2 emissions are. You can find this out from CO2 accounts from the airlines, or via websites such as Atmosfair.dk. Remember to take into account both the flight itself and any stops along the way. Whenever possible, you should choose public transport or travel by train instead of flying.

Once you arrive at your destination, you should walk or cycle as much as possible. In this way, you avoid the use of cars and other vehicles that emit CO2. If it is necessary to use vehicles, you should consider hybrid cars or electric cars, which emit less CO2 than ordinary cars.

You can also choose to travel to places where there are fewer tourists. In this way, you avoid burdening the local environment and society with too many tourists at once. You should also make sure to leave a place in better condition than when you arrived. This means, among other things, that you must take waste with you when you leave an area.

Finally, you should pay attention to the type of food you eat when you travel. You should try to avoid foods with high CO2 consumption such as meat and cheese. Instead, you can choose fish, fruit and vegetables that have not been transported as far. In this way, you reduce both your own consumption of CO2 and the burden on the environment associated with the transport of the food.

Remember that sustainable travel does not have to be expensive or difficult. You can start by doing the small things and then work your way up to the bigger ones. This could be, for example, buying sustainable products that are made from recycled materials or wood. That way, you can travel sustainably without compromising on your holiday. Please also take home sustainable products for everyday use. It's a win-win situation for both yourself and the environment!
