Green Travel Tips

Before you leave:
  • Turn your water heater to its lowest setting
  • Turn off your AC/ heat or change your thermostat setting
  • Turn off your water from the outside
  • Unplug electronics and appliances
  • Turn off icemaker

While you are travelling:
  • Walk, hike, bike or rent a hybrid whenever possible.
  • Be aware of water consumption by taking shorter showers and participate in towel & sheet reuse programs.
  • Turn off lights and air-conditioning when you are out of your room and remember to unplug chargers and small electronics that pull energy even when not in use.
  • When visiting, be aware of your impact on the environment leave nothing behind and do not remove anything like shells, coral or rocks.
  • Support the local community you are visiting by purchasing local goods and participating in service, give back programs where every possible.
  • Don’t encourage local people to keep wild animals as pets by paying to have your picture taken with them. This may actually provide incentive for them to hunt endangered species in order to obtain pets to display for tourists.
  • Chemicals in detergents and sunscreens can damage coral reefs — use biodegradable soaps and reef-friendly sunscreen.
  • Don't buy souvenirs produced from endangered species: shells, feathers, animal skins, or coral.
  • Carry a reusable bottle for water and refull it as you go
