Even though sustainability is getting more & more attention, for some reason I still feel a sharp line between \u2019being green\u2019 & everything else. For example, there are solo female travel, luxury couple travel, backpacking travel \u2013 but they all fall into the broad category of Travel. On the contrary there\u2019s sustainable traveling on the periphery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Although I won\u2019t run for \u2018ambassador of sustainability\u2019 position - it\u2019s a lot deeper ocean than I can swim through -, but I genuinely think there are many-many sustainable travel ideas for traveling families. To clarify we aren\u2019t zero-waste - just to be transparent -, but we\u2019re making baby steps with a baby to heal what we\u2019ve borrowed from our kids - our planet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Even if it's hame or not, I began to incorporate consciousness into my life in my late twenties. For instance we have a few stable points, and some casual ones \u2013 there\u2019s always room for improvement. However last year I started to think about what we can do to travel eco-friendlier. How we can smuggle some sustainable travel ideas<\/strong> for us, as a traveling family<\/strong>? The products mentioned in the article are not sponsored in any way. We have purchased them based on personal preferences<\/em> - Honest list, what we found manageable:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

It isn\u2019t the most attractive thing on a long road trip. BUT if you\u2019re planning to stay in one place for a longer time with washing machine, it\u2019s really not complicated at all. Also let me tell ya\u2019ll, if you are having second thoughts because of the \u2018poop scraping\u2019 situation, here\u2019s the secret: you have a baby. In other words there will be dozens of disgusting things you have to deal with. Cloth nappies are not even close to the worst. We have been on cloth nappies for 0,5 year constantly, and then did a hybrid way to mix regular and cloth nappies. I have purchased 2 brands I\u2019m fully satisfied with them: @econaps<\/strong><\/a> & @bambinomio<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

After we covered the nappies, we have to include the swimming ones too. We used the same brand, but feel free to choose one you resonate with the most!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

You either head to a fix destination where you have kitchen supplies or you make day trips, making the perfect fruit pulp for your baby is just so cool. Moreover you are even exposed to local produce (also supporting local businesses). In the zipped ones you can store the snacks. Ours are from @twistshake<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This collapsible anti-spill cup was our favorite gadget in the beginning of the toddler phase. Firstly, most versions are made from BPA-free silicone. Secondly, they are dishwasher safe, as the name suggests \u2013 the content is safely secured, yet the minis can access them easily. In addition it comes in a variety of shapes, colours, price. We bought ours from a trendianyu.hu<\/strong><\/a>. Our is even collapsible, which is just an extra touch of comfort when we carry it empty.<\/p>\n

Recently, this has moved to the car & we have a new gadget for our everydays. I ordered a SnackDisc from @minett.hu<\/a><\/strong> & let me tell you this is the new star of the snacks. I love that it's compact but also the lid perfectly closes so nothing will spill out. On top of that, thanks to the multiple compartments you can fill it up with various (& healthy snacks), like millet balls, dried fruits etc.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not a professional, but what I found in most articles that the 2 most harmful elements for nature are oxybenzone<\/em><\/strong> and octinoxate<\/em><\/strong>. Therefore let\u2019s exclude these sunscreens, including those which contain parabens<\/em><\/strong> or pthalates<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Instead look for sunblock with\u00a0zinc oxide<\/em><\/strong> and titanium dioxide<\/em><\/strong> in the ingredients list. Opt for mineral-based<\/em><\/strong> (physical)<\/em><\/strong> instead of chemical-based<\/em><\/strong> products despite that fact, that this type can leave a thick unwanted white layer on the skin.<\/p>\n

Fun fact: if you are big travelers search beforehand as some of the destinations already banned the usage of chemical-based sunscreens. I know it was a lot of information, but here are 3 great articles to further deepen your knowledge:<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still in the breastfeeding phase, choose washable pads. Although I tried disposable too, but not only there is no difference wearing them, but the washable is cheaper in the long run (I used @lansinoh<\/strong><\/a>). Also I didn\u2019t have any irritation and 2 pairs were enough for my whole breastfeeding journey.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
