Tourists Can Reduce the Effect of Their Jaunt on Environment
A [recent post](https://steemit.com/science/@valth/new-research-has-found-tourism-to-be-much-worse-for-the-climate-than-previous-anticipated-and-estimates-it-to-be-responsible-for) by ***@valth*** about tourism's effects on environment got me thinking and motivated me to write this post.

According to a research conducted by group of scientists [published in Nature Climate Change](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-018-0141-x), global tourism contribute up to **8%** to the annual greenhouse gas emission. This is about **3.9-4.5 GtCO2e(giga ton equivalent )**. This number is much higher( about **3 times**) than anticipated by previous studies.

So does not matter if you are a frequent tourist or an infrequent one, there are always a few small things that you can do to reduce the effect of your jaunt on environment.
## 1. Use Multi-purpose Things
Using multi-purpose things during your tour will not only lighten up your backpack but will also reduce your carbon footprint. Some tourists buy a lot of redundant products and in the end waste them.

## 2. Use Eco-friendly Products
Always go for eco-friendly product whenever possible to stop plastic pollution. e.g. prefer Coca cola Tin over plastic bottle.

## 3. Donate, Loan or Sell Your Used Items
You can always donate/loan your useful gadget to a friend, family member or to the locals at the end of your tour. It's the best way to ensure the full product utilization and help environment. Don't let things rot away in you cupboard if don't plan to use them in future. Or you can always sell your used items on ebay.

So next time you travel try to keep above mentioned suggestions in consideration because these little things/habits can have huge impact on environment.
I am sure there are many other lot of small things that tourist can do to reduce their impact on environment. So if you have something useful in mind, that can help others and eventually the environment please share in the comment section below.

This is quite an interesting read Xabi. However, I guess the suggestion to use Can drinks in place of plastic drinks is due to plastics not decaying, right?

I equally like the idea of just donating our old stuffs.

Let's save our  environment

Yes, you are spot on about plastics...
And we just hold on many things that we really don't need anymore, so why not give it to someone who can better utilize it...

I love this:
>And we just hold on many things that we really don't need anymore, so why not give it to someone who can better utilize it

If people applied that idea, there will be enough to go round for everyone.

Great tips, @xabi! 

I really need to pack a swiss army knife the next time I travel, because I always end up having to buy a bottle opener whenever I'm in another country.. If I just had a swiss army knife in my suitcase, then I would never need to buy another one.

Swiss army knives are great, but not allowed aboard airlines...
So I suggest an alternative here, try **Wallet Ninja**...
Its equally good and safe to carry in your purse...

Oh, I didn't think of the fact that we cannot bring a swiss army knife on a plane. A wallet ninja seems nice to bring instead then :)
