There are two separate definitions of green travel. One definition includes visiting an eco-friendly destination, but the other definition includes making your everyday travel more green and environmentally friendly by reducing, reusing, and recycling resources while traveling. The latter definition is what RezHub.com and Green Travel Hub are most concerned with. We want to make the process of traveling green easier and more automated, so you can spend more time planning your trip and what you'll be doing on the trip.

Reduce

Here are some examples of reducing your impact on the environment while traveling:


  1. Paying extra to take a direct flight, rather than picking the cheapest flight with multiple connections

  2. Driving a hybrid rental car

  3. Turning off all lights and appliances when you leave the hotel room



Reuse

Reusing our resources is something we often forget to do while traveling. When we get into travel mode, we become more careless and waste much more than we would in our normal lifestyle. Here are some examples of reusing for green travel.


  1. Putting the "Do Not Disturb" sign on your hotel door. This will prevent the housekeeping crew from servicing your room every day, so you can re-use towels and sheets for a couple of days.

  2. Bring your own re-usable water bottle with you while traveling.

  3. Don't open hotel freebies so the hotel can reuse them.



Recycle

Recycling is the most essential part of getting the most out of our planet's resources. Here are a few examples of how we can recycle when traveling.


  1. Give away old luggage instead of throwing it away

  2. Keep the empty shampoo and soap bottles from hotels and fill them up with your own shampoo.



These are the fundamentals of thinking green and living a green lifestyle.
