This has been my biggest pet peeve. Seeing some brands jumping on the sustainable bandwagon, offering ”eco” alternatives but ultimately ending up contributing to more waste.
REPLYWow this is a tough one. I wasn't really aware of this before. Glad you brought it up.
REPLYOne of my biggest frustrations when travelling is the so called ‘option’ not to have the towels changed everyday, when nearly every hotel I have stayed in still changed the towels that were hanging. I have started to write about it in my trip advisor reviews to raise awareness to management.
REPLY@hgoeseast I work in hotels and I can definitely agree with you there. We still would change guest towels and linens despite
REPLYGreat piece. I think next we should explore the whole concept of buying local and how realistic it is. Almost every conversation I have had lately with omnivorous people has been very accusatory towards my eating habits and how they impact the local community ("avocado is bad because of the excessive farming practices that also exploit human labour in 3rd world countries", etc.)
REPLYHey @vuyom1998, thanks for your suggestion! We'll have a look into the feasibility of buying local for a future article!
REPLYGoing vegan has taught me so much when it comes to reading labels and seeing what's actually inside the products we tend to just grab off the shelf without thinking twice! I'm guilty of doing this for most of my life, and I'm proud of myself for taking a closer look now.
