When it comes to getting around the city you are visiting for business or pleasure, the way you choose to circulate can have an environmental impact. Where possible, taking public transportation or utilizing car-sharing services can be a great way to reduce your impact as a traveler. Reducing the number of vehicles is not only more fuel-efficient on an individual level, but it also decreases traffic and overall journey times.

- Go paperless - save natural resources by opting to have your boarding passes and other documents emailed to you or accessible through apps.
- Be conscious of your water consumption - avoid taking long showers and having hotels replace sheets and towels more frequently than you would at home.
- Consider your energy efficiency - turn appliances off standby and make sure the aircon and lights are off when you leave your hotel room.
- Pack light - when flying, bring only what you need for your trip, the lighter your luggage, the lower the emissions you generate.
- Reduce, reuse, recycle - avoid single-use plastics wherever possible. Ditch plastic bags, bring your own refillable water bottle and reusable straws, and skip generating extra plastic waste by leaving the mini toiletries at your hotel.
