class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_Public_Transport\"><\/span>Use Public Transport<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the ways that you can travel greener is to use public transport.<\/p>\n<p>By travelling around major towns and cities <a href=\"https:\/\/gogreentravelgreen.com\/getting-around-public-transportation-green-travel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">using public transport<\/a> you are reducing your carbon footprint as you are travelling from A to B with multiple people.<\/p>\n<p>This then reduces the amount of fuel that you are burning as there will be fewer trips made to one destination.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

class=\"wp-caption-text\">Guide To Environmentally Friendly Travel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This is particularly beneficial in cities such as London that have an expansive network of bus and train routes to help make your commute easy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Travel_Light\"><\/span>Travel Light<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another way for you to be eco-friendlier when you travel is to reduce the amount that you are traveling with.<\/p>\n<p>Not only is it easier for you to travel around with, but it will then take less energy for the plane and will, therefore, burn less fuel.<\/p>\n<p>If everyone follows this very simple rule, flights will be able to make twice as many trips in the same amount of fuel making this a much more efficient way to travel in the long term.<\/p>\n<p>Although this is also dependent on the length of the flight that you are taking, this the perfect way to begin reducing our carbon footprint as we travel.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_Transfer_Flights\"><\/span>Avoid Transfer Flights<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another way to reduce your carbon footprint is to travel without the need for connecting flights.<\/p>\n<p>Although this is often more expensive as a result a single flight will burn less fuel and make your travel plans far more eco-friendly.<\/p>\n<p>Although this can sometimes not be possible depending on where you live in the world, finding a flight that is direct is the perfect way to reduce the stress of traveling whilst reducing the number of carbon emissions that you produce which is beneficial when it comes to reducing the effects that this is having on the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 590px\"

id=\"Eat_Locally\"><\/span>Eat Locally<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Another way to reduce the number of emissions that you create whilst on your travels is to opt for local food that is near to the hotel.<\/p>\n<p>This not only allows you to find some hidden gems with some of the best food, but it also allows you to walk to and from your hotel every night.<\/p>\n<p>This is perfect for those that love to travel as you are likely to see more when travelling on foot and are also bound to lose some weight as a result of the walking.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of which of these you choose to incorporate into your holiday, you can be sure that you will have an amazing time away whilst doing your bit to help repair the environment and begin caring for our planet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guide To Environmentally Friendly Travel &#8211; Travelling is one of the most environmentally damaging practices that is completed every
