12 DAYS OF SUSTAINABLE(ISH) – DAY 10 SUSTAINABLE(ISH) TRAVEL & TRANSPORT

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG....!
It is with HUGE excitement that I bring you this very special mini-series of the Sustainable(ish) podcast to celebrate, and to count down to, the launch of The Sustainable(ish) Living Guide - everything you need to know to make small changes that make a big difference.
This book is pretty much the distillation of the Sustainable(ish) ethos and is being published by Bloomsbury on January 9th 2020 , and to mark such an auspicious occasion I've put together 12 shortish episodes of the podcast, one for each chapter of the book, where I have a good old chinwag with someone relevant to that chapter.

Day 10 - just 2 days left to go...!
Chapter 10 in the book is dedicated to travel and transport - both things that on the face of it, aren't particularly sustainable. But as always, there's lots of options for changing what we do, in big and little ways, to make it more sustainable(ish).
In this episode of the podcast, I'm chatting to Jo Hendrickx who is the founder of an amazing organisation called Travel without Plastic, which works to reduce unnecessary single use plastic in the tourist sector. Probably because the vast majority of our holidays are now spent in our caravan with the kids, I simply hadn't really thought about the vast amounts of single use plastic that the tourism sector gets through, from single use plastic glasses at the poolside, to the free mini bottles of toiletries in the bathroom.
Tune in to hear about Jo's work with hotels to help them to reduce this, and also what we as travellers can do to help.

Enjoy!
