Wednesday Wisdom: ?? Sustainable Travel Practices for Work Trips ??

Travelling for work doesn’t have to come at the planet's expense. By making intentional choices, you can reduce your environmental footprint and support a more sustainable future—even while working away.

Here are some simple ways to travel more sustainably:

? Choose Eco-Friendly Accommodations: Look for hotels or serviced apartments with sustainability certifications like Green Tourism or GSTC. Many properties now use renewable energy smart water systems and offer recycling facilities.

? Opt for Greener Transport: Trains and buses are often more eco-friendly than flights. If flying is necessary, go for direct routes and explore carbon offset programmes airlines offer. Once you arrive, walking, cycling, or using public transport is a great way to reduce emissions and experience the local culture.

? Support Local Businesses: From dining at locally-owned restaurants to shopping for handcrafted goods, supporting local and sustainable businesses creates a positive impact. Look for plant-based dining options or places that prioritise organic and seasonal produce.

? Pack Reusables: Carry reusable water bottles, coffee cups, and shopping bags to cut down on single-use plastics.

Small actions add up. Whether you turn off unused lights in your accommodation or choose sustainable suppliers, these mindful habits contribute to a greener future.
