It's that time of year when some of us start to think about a change of scenery, so we've rounded up a few suggestions on how to make your travels more sustainable. 👇
There's often so much on our doorstep just waiting to be explored. Why not see if you can find a local tour that sparks your interest? We love fellow social enterprise Unseen Tours, offering alternative tours around London with guides who have experienced homelessness.
KitUp Adventures are helping make outdoor equipment more accessible - you can hire everything from paddle boards to ski's from your neighbours!
One of the most sustainable things we can do, is to use what we've already got. We've found a company that's made it that bit easier - Alpkit offer mending, repair, re-waterproofing and re-lofting for all kinds of outdoor kit, even if it’s from other brands!
If Tents aren't your Thing, it can be tricky to truly know if your accommodation is sustainable. Which is why we were very excited to discover Book Different. They have a Staygreencheck which assesses 5 areas for accommodation such as management, fair pay, impact on local area and nature. 🙌
We know it's not always possible, but we wanted to share for those that would like to learn more about reducing air travel. We found a great B-Corp called Byway that offer flight free travel packages by train, boat, bus and bike.
It's not just practical stuff for DIY, gardening and cleaning at Library of Things - there's plenty of fun stuff to borrow too! Check out our roundup of Tents and other adventure Things.
Living more sustainably doesn't have to mean not having fun any more, we hope these tips have shown that you can still explore whilst being kinder to the planet.
