Lessen Your Impact on Vacation: Friday Quickie
Happy Friday! The upcoming holiday on Monday means we get to kick off a loooong (and much-needed) weekend. Have plans to head to the shore or mountains?
Make sure to lessen your carbon footprint this holiday weekend regardless of where you go. Here’s a few quick tips to stay sustainable:
- Don’t overpack your car. Your car is more fuel-efficient when it weighs less.
- Don’t overbuy food. You won’t have to throw away leftovers or worry about taking too much home if you plan efficiently.
- Make sure your temporary housing includes housewares. If not, bring a few sets of plates & silverware instead of depending on disposable versions.
- Check your weekend house spot’s recycling policy. Make sure to dispose of trash & recycling properly.
Readers, do you have any quick tips for the holiday weekend? Any sustainable adventures (or even Napa, perhaps?)

Don’t fill up your car! Catch a ride with SETPA, Megabus or Peter Pan for a more eco-friendly travel option.
Touche, Rachel!! It’s wayyyyy better to use public transit where you can and that is our number one preference. I was thinking of many people who “will” be making the roadtrip,since we want to encourage reducing carbon footprints everywhere.
Happy Friday!
