Climate Action Holiday Travel Tips

As I Climate Advocate, I am asking a question. Have you ever considered what we can do to help alleviate pollution when we are traveling?

Types of Pollution from Traveling

Traveling contributes to various forms of pollution, significantly impacting our planet. The most prominent type is air pollution, especially from air travel. Aircraft emit greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, which can worsen climate change and affect air quality. Ground transportation, including cars and buses, also plays a role in emitting harmful pollutants, contributing to both air quality degradation and noise pollution.

FYI
Lightweight and Durable Choices:
Choosing light yet tough luggage helps the environment. Lighter gear means vehicles use less fuel. This is true whether you’re flying, driving, or taking the bus.
For example, carrying less weight in a vehicle can save 1-2 miles per gallon of fuel!

All the best for our Planet :)
