Travel by train

If it's a short hop to or around Europe, taking the train can significantly reduce your carbon footprint. According to Our World in Data, it costs the planet six times less than flying, so hypothetically you could make multiple trips and still cause less damage than flying. Plus, it's a lot less stressful, so much more scenic and out-of-this-world spacious. It feels romantic and kind of old-timey, too. Nice.

For our friends who reside stateside, some trains can take you along the golden coastlines of southern California, and others will take you from Napa Valley to New England, so don’t think flying is your only option. However, if it is, look into travelling with an airline that offers the option to offset the emissions of your journey and fund projects that either avoid emissions of greenhouse gases or reduce them. Research is key, so make sure you look into a viable and regulated option.

Pack like a pro

Travelling can be stressful and expensive enough. Instead of purchasing overpriced minis, decant your toiletries into reusable containers and always remember your reusable coffee cup and water bottle to reduce your plastic waste. Pack a swimsuit that is simple in style and durable in design, like our Aplomb Two-Piece. After all, a swimsuit that adapts and changes with your body will spend more time in the water and less time in landfill.
