Eco-Friendly Accessories to Travel With
Being kind to our environment is increasingly urgent and incredibly important, and sometimes it’s very necessary to invest in a couple of accessories that make doing so easier on a day to day basis. Once you grab yourself items that stop needless consumption of plastic, cardboard and other materials, you’ll realise just how much you contribute to waste. Here are the accessories you should invest in to help your pocket and the environment…
Metal Water Bottle
Plastic water bottles are a massive contributor to landfill and waste, and really in 2020, we should not be buying them unless we absolutely unequivocally have to. Metal water bottles aren’t only healthy for the environment but they’re also incredibly convenient. Having a water bottle on you at all times means you’re not going to be thirsty on the go. You can find a tonne of different designs and styles for your bottle.
Keep Cup
Just imagine if you pile up the cardboard cups and plastic lids from your morning coffee every day – after a month, or even a week, you’ll probably feel a little sick. Save unnecessary waste by investing in a cute keep cup for yourself. These can come in so many awesome styles and materials, whether you’re into a ceramic boho kind of vibe or you prefer the sleek, contemporary glass side of things, you’ll find one to suit you. Plus, this means you can confidently sip your morning beverage on the bus, train or in the car, which is a lifesaver when you’re in a hurry.
Bamboo Cutlery Set
