Ah, the joys of travel.
Not only do we have to deal with the hassles of flying, but our normally healthy habits as far as diet and exercise often fly out the window, adding to our level of frustration and fatigue.
When you add a gluten-free, allergen-free diet to the mix, it gets even more interesting!
Here’s another thing I know to be true:
If you’re an eco-friendly sort of person, it can be very hard to maintain your eco-friendly ways while on the road.
After all, when we’re tired and hungry, and far from home it’s much easier to opt for convenience – especially when crunched for time.
Still, it is possible, and needn’t take too much effort.
So here are my tips on How to Travel Green.
Stay Hydrated
While it’s definitely important to stay hydrated while traveling, I think it’s equally important to consider the type of bottle you’re drinking out of.
Yet, how does one maintain proper fluid intake without going through gallons of water packaged in plastic bottles?
My method isn’t foolproof, but here it is: I travel with a stainless steel water bottle.
I empty it prior to passing through airport security, then promptly request a refill at the nearest Starbucks.
A friend of mine gave me this tip a few years ago, and it really works!
