Drowning in Cabin Plastic A byproduct of our love of travel is the vast amount of plastic waste that we generate. Everything we encounter in-flight, from the meal service, blankets and headphones wrapped is plastic laden. Most recently, Delta’s mask and hand sanitiser packets were plastic wrapped, an unnecessary move. “That’s the upsetting part about flying,” Megan Epler Wood, director of the International Sustainable Tourism Initiative at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, told the Huffington Post, “They’re just throwing everything into one bag. And there’s no effort to separate, which means you know they’re not recycling because they can’t. Once the plastic or anything else becomes contaminated, it can’t be recycled.” The airlines have been slow to transition to a less plastic infested philosophy. So how can a traveller take more responsibility for the volume of trash they generate circling the planet.

Couture Trips Travel Essentials Couture Trips is focused on travel education, especially when it comes to the environmental impact of travel. We developed a series of in-flight travel kits that we feel will aid the traveller in various ways. Most importantly- Couture Trips Travel Essentials Kits contain the world's most collapsible water (25 fl. oz.) bottle developed by Hydaway Corporation. If travellers can stop their dependency on plastic cups and plan on packing their own water containers, it can make a huge impact. We love to say that we can turn a travel footprint into a fingerprint. Our video (see below) demonstrates how you can simplify your travel prep and positively impact the environment at the same time. Visit Couture Trips Essentials to order your in-flight kit today. We recently launched Eze and Annecy, our two smallest in-flight essentials kits. Travellers can use them on planes, trains, buses and cars! No matter where you roam, you will be prepared. In the coming months you will also be able to purchase a travel blanket and other travel essential kits. We also can help you with travel planning. Visit Couture Trips and get started on planning your next great escape. |
