Green travel

I had to travel for work recently and so I thought I'd blog about some of the things I did to green it up.

• Brought my stainless steel water bottle so I didn't have to buy bottled water


• Took the train instead of flying


• Continued to selectively flush and take navy showers


• Cancelled the newspaper left outside my room every day


• Cancelled my turn down service (came back to my room the first night to lights and radio on!!)


• Brought my own food in reusable containers for breakfasts and snacks


• Hung up my towels each morning so they didn't get washed


• Before leaving home, I researched nearby restaurants that I could walk to (found a great veg. restaurant)


• Brought home all my paper waste to make sure it got recycled


• Resisted the urge to use the cute, nice smelling bottles and tubes of shampoo, lotion, soap etc. in my bathroom. Instead I used my own shampoo, lotion, and soap that I'd brought from home.
