Sustainability is becoming increasingly important, even on vacation. We give you 5 tips on how to vacation sustainably, without sacrificing comfort or fun.
Choose sustainable transportation
Opt for public transportation to get around to and during your vacation. Not only is it more environmentally friendly than the car, but it is also a fun way to explore the area. You can also rent a scooter or bicycle to get around even more easily.
Be economical with water
It is important to use water sparingly, even on vacation. Take a shower instead of a bath and make sure you don’t spend too long in the shower. Also, reuse your towels and don’t throw them iet after one time on the ground to wash, again reducing water consumption. This saves not only water, but also energy and detergent.
Avoid packaging
Try to avoid (small) packages as much as possible during your vacation. For example, bring a reusable water bottle and refill it whenever possible. Also look for local stores or markets where you can buy fresh produce without packaging.
Shop locally
Try to shop locally during your vacation. Not only is this good for the local economy, but it is also more sustainable than buying things that have to come from far away. In Ostend, there are a lot of local stores with very cool stuff.
Respect nature and the environment
While on vacation, it is important to be respectful of nature and the environment. For example, don’t throw trash on the street or beach, and avoid using plastic straws or bags. By respecting nature and the environment, you contribute to a more sustainable world, and you can enjoy your vacation even more yourself.
