Please note, these are my personal suggestions. I am not receiving any incentives, royalties or other benefits from the companies whose products are listed as examples. TIP #1: Switch to Bar Shampoo Benefits: Shampoo bars easily tuck into your luggage, won't leak, are lightweight and are usually wrapped without plastic. Example: All Natural Rocky Mountain Soap Rosemary bar shampoo TIP #2: Switch to Bar Soap for the Face and Body Benefits: Soap bars are light-weight, effective cleansers without the risk of leakage. Example: My personal favourite is Dr Bronner's Pure-Castile bar soap in Peppermint. The soap is also available in a variety of scents, including Baby Unscented and Tea Tree. TIP #3: Bring your own water bottle Benefits: Reduce the need to buy plastic water bottles where potable water is available from the faucet. When you visit a new country, remember to enquire whether the tap water is safe to drink. Packing tip: Stuff a pair of clean socks inside the bottle to save precious packing space Example: Klean Kanteen Wide Mouth Stainless Steel Bottle TIP #4: Bring a reusable shopping bag Benefits: Reduce using single-use plastic bags while on the road. Even if you are not a big shopper, a carry bag comes in handy to pick up snacks at supermarkets or restock toiletries on longer trips. Example: MEC Waste-Less Tote Bag 45L, made from salvaged fabric used to make MEC backpacks. For more ideas, Bookmundi shares their top ten tips for eco-travelling in this article.
