I am passionate about sustainability and have learned a lot from this book. I’ve been finding new products throughout the years to reduce my waste and this book sheds a whole new light on things we should also be focusing on. Tuppen provides evidence with facts, but she also provides alternative options to consider. When we decide to make changes in our lives to benefit the environment, we may think we have to give a lot of things up, but this isn’t necessarily the case.
I appreciate that Tuppen gives sound advice and provides numerous options that we can adapt into our lifestyle, so it doesn’t leave the reader feeling as though we must make big sacrifices to enjoy our travels. This book is filled with beautiful photos and it really gets you looking forward to your next trip. Thank you to NetGalley and Quarto Publishing Group – White Lion for this advanced reading copy (eARC) in exchange for my honest review. Sustainable Travel is now available for purchase on Amazon.

I’m glad you enjoyed this book! Sustainable travel is so important. My minor in post-secondary was Tourism Marketing and one of my courses was sustainability! A lot of people don’t realize travelling when done wrong is not eco-friendly at all. Thanks for sharing x

That’s wonderful how you took a course on sustainability. It’s something I’d like to learn more of!
I have to give this a read, I’m always looking for ways to be more sustainable and doing while travelling just makes sense. It’s great there is so much information in the book, definitely something I would read.
We often forget to be mindful while travelling and this book is a great reminder. Thank you for reading Jordanne!

Thank you for reading Della!
Sounds like a great book to read for when the pandemic will be gone and everyone will be rushing to catch up on travelling. I can already see people being a bit more mindless about things because of the stress that has accumulated in the past 2 years ( and that is totally valid, I see myself making some questionable choices from time to time too) but a book like this one could help us take a second more to think about our trips and actions. Thanks for presenting it!
I completely agree Anda! Thank you for reading!
Great review! This sounds like such an important book, I think when travelling it’s all too easy to buy the cheapest possible items – even when they’re not very sustainable. I love that the author suggested some swaps to make in order to work towards travelling more sustainably. Thanks for sharing x
I agree, it gives us many options to explore. Thank you for reading!
This book seems a much needed read!
Thank you!
