Hey there,
I'm Valli from GreenMatch, and I'm writing to you about our latest article where we present 50 tips to make your travel a bit more eco friendly.
As the world is becoming more conscious about the environment, there's always something you can do to contribute positively, and yes, even when you're on a holiday. Did you know?
- The average car emits about 192g of CO2 per km if you drive alone, but by carpooling you can lower all passengers' carbon footprint.
- Air travel alone makes up 20% of the tourist industry's carbon emissions.
- As much as 50% of a plane's carbon emissions can come from takeoff and landing.
- Cruise ships emit 3 to 4x more carbon dioxide per person (per kilometre) than commercial flights.
- Travelling by train is the most ecologically friendly option, aside from waking or biking, as they emit 55-75% less carbon emissions.
- Tourist accommodations account for 1% of global emissions and 20% of emissions from the tourism industry.
- A report by Booking.com found that the number of travellers who would like to stay in sustainable accommodations increased by 19% (since 2016) up to 81%.
- If you were to buy a disposable bottled water every day, it'll cost you at least £30 monthly and it'll take 405 years for each bottle to decompose.
