Travel has a profound impact on the environment, but we can help to minimize our effect. In partnership with Greenprint Denver, the Mayor's Office of Sustainability, we offer tips to keep your travel as green as possible.
While at your destination:
Here are a few things you can do when you get there to help make your trip a little greener.
- Avoid fast food restaurants. An enormous amount of waste is created through packaging and shipping.
- Getting takeout? Just say no to Styrofoam containers. They are non-biodegradable, toxic when heated, and dangerous if swallowed.
- Avoid using disposable condiment packets.
- Don t drink bottled water. Purchase a reusable, preferably glass, bottle and refill it.
- Take public transportation or walk.
