Awesome, so great to meet other eco-aware travellers! I agree that sometimes the two don’t always equate, especially with the example of economy flights between UK and Europe that are becoming so cheap. Equally, flying in economy class is more eco-friendly than flying on higher-end planes and, depending how far the bus/train journey is, sometimes equal to or slightly better environmentally as well.

Thanks, Amanda! Glad that you found the article interesting :)

Yes – and walking and biking are excellent ways to enjoy new places :)

Yep, and it was pretty horrible for July and August. The rest of the year was totally fine though. Our friends had crippling air-con bills in the summer too. Taiwan ahas good markets too, though it took me a little while to sort through the weirdo dried fish stalls and finally find the beans, chickpeas, split peas and lentil stalls haha. I also mostly own only basic or second hand clothes and have only bought one item of clothing (from a second hand store) in the past 8 months. I always forget about clothing really, but you’re right, definitely another eco-friendly move.

It would be nice and I’m sure that many of them do. I always wonder about that though as the temptation much be so much more to always make the luxury, quicker and easier choices that unfortunately aren’t always more eco-friendly. It’s nice to see from travel blogs that many travellers of all different means do do their bit for the environment though :)
