Going Green: Smart Strategies for Reducing Your Carbon Footprint During Your Staycation

Staycations are becoming increasingly popular, not just for budget-minded families but for anyone looking to escape the trappings of the everyday. And if you’re looking to make your staycation a bit greener without sacrificing comfort and convenience, we’re going to share some tips on how you can reduce your carbon footprint while vacationing. From making small changes in how you use energy to opting out from using single-use toiletries, there’s no shortage of opportunities to improve your holiday experience while doing something positive for the environment.

Read on and discover some simple ways that you can make your staycation greener -for all the right reasons.

1. Bring your toiletries
According to research by STR Global, hotels around the world discard 60 million pieces of plastic waste into the environment in a single day. Single-use toothbrushes, plastic shampoo, and soap bottles are non-recyclable. You can contribute positively by using products you already have at home, including shampoo and body wash.

2. Reuse your towels
It's tempting to get a clean set of sheets and fluffy towels every day, but if you want to conserve water, you should probably skip this particular daily housekeeping service. If you decide to go green at Novus Giri, we will provide a note card that you can place on your bed to notify us of your decision to reuse your towels. We can do our part together, no matter how small the act

3. Take advantage of local restaurants and attractions.
Eating out at nearby restaurants and visiting neighboring attractions is a great way to support the local economy and reduce your environmental impact while learning about the area. There are plenty of family-friendly destinations around Puncak that you can check out, such as Talaga Saat, Safari Park, and Nusantara Flower Park.

4. Unplug your gadgets
It’s also important to be mindful of your energy usage. Turn off the lights and unplug your gadgets when you’re not using them. You can bring your energy-efficient chargers and consider investing in a power strip with a switch so you can easily turn off all your devices with one switch.

Now that you have all the tips and tricks, you can make a positive impact on the environment and enjoy a guilt-free getaway.
