One of the easiest ways to travel plastic free is to start with a reusable metal water bottle. Water refill stations are expanding all over the world in airports, bus stations, hotels, and parks. McSisters discovered there are refill ambassador apps available in some countries, so you can access a database on where to find a refill station.   We always carry a large jug of water in our car or trailer to refill water bottles just in case water is not easily accessible.  Many travelers pack a little to go bag including things like reusable cutlery, reusable shopping bags, greener toiletries, metal straw, and a reusable coffee cup.

We Mcsisters love the silicone reusable bags of all sizes and shapes. They can be used on the trail for your lunch foods and snacks.  They can also be used for many of the other foods you bring for your meals.

Easy to wash and use over and over. . . no waste!! 

We McSisters have also learned that some countries in the world have banned single-use plastic bags and some ask their visitors to bring their own water bottles, snack bags, and cutlery. Imagine how much less waste there would be if all countries made these requests.

We will share tips about water filters and many other plastic free travel tips in our future travel blogs.

What can you do?

•  Purchase some nice reusable lunch and snack bags, reusable metal water bottle and coffee mug.
