This year, I was at summer camp for a few weeks. But for several days
we had to stay indoors because of the extreme heat, with the temperature
soaring up to over 90 degrees Fahrenheit! According to the EPA, “Since
1950, Connecticut has been experiencing changes that differ from normal
expectations. Our region now has warmer seasons. The average annual air
temperature in Connecticut has increased by 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit.”
This is a big issue which can be prevented by eco-friendly habits. In
order to combat the rising heat, we can take small but significant steps
while traveling this summer, which include:
1. Bring your own empty water bottle wherever you go and fill it up at
a bottle filling station instead of buying a plastic water bottle. This way,
you reduce waste and save money!
2. If you eat out, make sure to bring your own reusable containers to
take any extra food instead of using their plastic / Styrofoam
containers.
3. When on vacation, try to use eco-friendly modes of transportation like
a train or bus to reduce the emissions that lead to global warming. If
you have to use a car, try renting one, especially an electric, hybrid,
or small one to avoid excessive emissions and save some money.
4. When at a hotel, ask the front desk to not change your towels and
sheets while you stay to minimize laundry loads, which use a lot of
water and energy.
5. Another hotel tip is to bring your own reusable toiletry containers to
avoid waste.

6. Ask about the hotel’s recycling program and sort your trash accordingly.
If your hotel doesn't recycle, consider taking your empty bottles or other
items home and recycle them there.
