Travel is generally great for relaxation and gaining new perspectives—but it’s not so great for the planet. In addition to air travel’s heavy carbon footprint, it’s a time when single-use packaging is everywhere, since you’re on the go.

But it’s much easier than you might expect to drastically reduce the amount of waste you produce while on the road (and offset those carbon emissions). With a bit of planning and proper packing, you’ll be good to go.

Here are my top tips to reduce your waste while traveling. Give them a try and you might just find, like I did, that incorporating them into your life enhances your travel experiences by encouraging you to be that much more present and mindful.
