As a responsible traveler, there are several measures you can take to minimize your environmental impact when traveling abroad. Firstly, try to limit the use of single-use plastics, like grocery bags and water bottles. Bring reusable forms of packaging instead, such as reusable bags and metal or glass water bottles. Try to purchase local products, and support companies who have sustainability practices in place. Choose experiences that are culturally immersive and respectful towards local populations - avoid activities which promote animal entertainment such as petting zoos or elephant rides. Last but not least: don't forget to pick up after yourself - throw away any non-biodegradable items such as paper and plastic items into proper waste bins.
