The backpack of the responsible traveller

Conscious Travel / The backpack of the responsible traveller

Why is it important to be a responsible traveller? 

• In Australia, it is 2.7 million single-use coffee cups that are thrown away every day which represents 1 billion coffee cups thrown per year in Australia only!
• Plastic bottles are one of the most polluting wastes in the World! Most of which are found in our oceans and kill 1.5 million animals every year, because of plastic ingestion!
• Around 14,000 tonnes of sunscreen are poured into the oceans every year! And some sunscreen’s chemicals could be a bigger threat than global warming and pollution for corals!
• Today, the number of plastic straws strewn on the beaches around the world is estimated at 8.3 billion. A plastic waste among so many others which number could become higher than the population of fish in our oceans before 2050!
