Avoiding plastic on vacation: The supertips
We write July, the vacations are coming and then we look at beautiful white beaches and azure waters very quickly. You can also avoid plastic on vacation, so that the beautiful azure sea stays azure. In this blog you will receive the super tips to prevent single use plastics.
Eat at restaurants themselves, avoid take-aways
It's so easy when you're on vacation: just grab a bite to eat in your fist at a take-away. But the problem with this is that it takes a lot of plastic to do this. It is better to eat at the restaurants themselves, because then you are not using single-use plastics . And how much fun is it to eat at a restaurant in a different place? Two birds with one stone as far as we are concerned!
And if you do end up at a take away, ask for less plastic packaging material, this will also give a good signal. Because is the plastic lid and straw in a milkshake really necessary, do you really need a bag or box around the sandwich or is a napkin enough?
Always bring your reusable water bottle!
To avoid single use plastics, it is good to bring your reusable water bottle. Of course, we have very nice bottles that you can take with you! In many cities nowadays there are water fountains in which you can refill your water bottle, so it's not only good for the environment (you avoid plastic bottles after all), it's also good for your own health as well as your wallet.
ECO friendly activities
In many countries more and more companies are concerned with the environment and sustainability. On vacation, this allows you to consider ECO-friendly activities in the activities you choose. For example, there are several companies abroad that have a ZERO-WASTE POLICY regarding plastics.
Always carry a bag with you!
Always make sure you carry a bag with you, as on vacation you often have a lot to carry with you. Soon you may be tempted to buy or bring a plastic bag to carry with you. Make sure you have your own (trendy) shopping bag, so that you can always take everything with you!
Don't leave garbage lying around!
Although we always want to have as little waste as possible, it is impossible to produce no (plastic) waste during your vacation, we understand that. Therefore, the last tip is to clean up the waste when you do produce it! This may sound obvious, but there is still a lot of garbage left on the ground on beaches and in city centers, which ends up in nature. By simply throwing your waste into a trash can, you are taking care of it.
