Taking a holiday doesn't mean letting go of all the eco-friendly choices. There are many ways you can have a much-deserved break without harming the environment.
Forget planes. While most forms of transport produce carbon dioxide, planes have a massive carbon footprint because of the huge number of miles they travel. Many of us ignore the endless beautiful scenery around us. There's the outstanding beauty of the Mississippi River.
Alternatively, you can drive your car to the Grand Canyon to see its splendor.
Pack with care. All of their bottles, from shampoo and conditioner to body wash and moisturizer（润肤霜）, are now made from recycled plastic that can be repurposed again and again so no new plastic is produced. And their iconic soap bars now also come in plastic-free packaging.
Hotels can be huge producers of greenhouse gases. Think about the water that's wasted and all the buffet food that goes uneaten. So choose an eco-friendly option instead. Camping and a home stay —where you live with a family in their own home — are two of the best options. But if you insist on staying in the hotel, pick one made from sustainable materials.
Buy gifts responsibly. Bringing back gifts for friends and loved ones is part of the fun of a holiday. Avoid anything plastic, or if it is plastic, make sure it is 100% recyclable, and make sure your friends will love whatever you give them so it isn't just thrown in the bin headed for landfill.
