For example, I’ve recently started using chewable toothpaste, which is quite the experience! It makes travelling much easier, while still having a dentist recommendation for providing the same level of clean as standard toothpaste. I’m someone who is always anxious to get on a plane, so not having to worry about liquid quantities at security is another weight off my mind. One of the best benefits of these is that I can fit a month’s supply into a tin that’s smaller than a full-size tube of toothpaste and I don’t have to worry about buying any when I get to my destination. With that said, this change has also been an adjustment for me. It really is far easier to travel with chewable toothpaste and I would assume that they’d be a good product for people who like camping as well. I like a little more than just canvas separating me from the great outdoors though! That being said, it does take some time to wrap your head around the idea of chewing a tablet and then brushing rather than using the traditional gel.
Ultimately, there are a number of products that Ecolimpet recommends on your journey towards being a more sustainable traveller. You can find biodegradable floss, full-body shower wash, lip balms, sunscreen, deodorants (I really like the grapefruit and rosemary scent), and many other products to take with you on your travels. For my UK friends, there are lots of online eco stores for you to choose from, such as The Eco Shop, Wearth and Georganics.
Each of these products from Ecolimpet has been carefully thought out to provide you with an eco-friendly alternative that will minimise your waste while travelling. But remember, the eco-friendly traveller is observant. As someone who travels often for work, I know that this is easier said than done. However, there are opportunities for each of us to be more sustainable when travelling. I’m glad to be partnering with a company like Ecolimpet, who is willing to help me find alternatives to my creature comforts and support me along the way.
