People are searching for destinations for them to travel in an eco-friendly way. Thus, Europe comes as a continent with tons of sustainable destinations. That\u2019s why the interest in sustainable travel in Europe keeps on increasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Travel Europe Sustainably<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually, going around as an eco-friendly traveler in a continent that has highlighted sustainability in their every day requires no sweat. There are lots of sustainable sources, from transportation to itineraries, all over Europe. Then, here are some things you can do if you want to level up your Europe trip to a more eco-friendly and sustainable one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose Trains over Flights<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/paul-vhZe9fd9MRs-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"sustainable travel in europe\" class=\"wp-image-13994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/paul-vhZe9fd9MRs-unsplash.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/paul-vhZe9fd9MRs-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/paul-vhZe9fd9MRs-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">    <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the basic sustainable travel tips is taking other transportation modes than airplanes. And why is that? So, the aviation industry contributes around 2-3% of the world\u2019s total carbon emissions. Thus, it is one of the biggest carbon footprints someone can have.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, taking land transportation, especially trains, allows you to save your carbon footprints. Someone can cut their own carbon emissions by half, which is around 41g per person if they take trains instead of airplanes. Thus, even though some railways seem to emit more carbon as they are operated by diesel engines, the carbon footprint per passenger is lower than airplanes. This is because trains can fit a lot more passengers than airplanes, making them more effective and energy-efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Europe starts excelling in low-carbon and comfortable trains. Railways like Eurail are <a href=\"https:\/\/youthforeurope.eu\/how-to-sustainable-travel-over-europe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">highly promoted for inter-nation transportation <\/a>as a part of the European Union\u2019s support for green tourism. Thus, you can go from one country to another on this versatile European railway.

Then, you can try cycling. Besides the fact that it is a fun thing to do, cycling is a sustainable option. Bicycles emit lower carbon emissions than motorcycle, cars, or even buses. Thus, they produce only  allowing you to save up your carbon footprint. Moreover, cycling has no negative impact on the air quality and environment, as it has no harmful byproducts. Besides that, some researchers perceive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/01441647.2017.1340234\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cycling as an effective, economical, and healthy alternative to transport<\/a>. It is a nice physical activity, as well as an affordable way to go around.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Europe comes at a top place when it comes to cycling. Since 2009, the <a href=\"https:\/\/single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu\/sectors\/tourism\/offer\/sustainable\/cycling-routes_en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">European Commission<\/a> has promoted the establishment of cycling routes and granted projects to promote the sustainability of cycling tourism. No wonder there are lots of comfortable and safe cycling routes all across the continent.

Besides being cheap, public transportation is a great way to save carbon footprints and shift to sustainability. Public transportation gets more attention if we see the fact that transportation accounts for 90% of fossil fuel use. Thus, fossil fuels produce tons of carbon dioxide and the transportation sector itself contributes around <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/ghgemissions\/sources-greenhouse-gas-emissions#transportation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">27% of total annual greenhouse gas emissions<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, why is actually public transportation comes out as a more sustainable option? First of all, public transportation saves around <a href=\"https:\/\/transportation.ucla.edu\/blog\/5-environmental-benefits-sustainable-transportation#:~:text=Less%20Pollution%20and%20Clearer%20Skies,atmosphere%20and%20improving%20air%20quality.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">45% of carbon emissions<\/a> annually. Then, it also reduces an individual\u2019s carbon footprint, as they are traveling with many people in the vehicle. Finally, public transportation can transport a lot of people at the same time, so it is both time and energy efficient.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bring Your Own Bottle&nbsp;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/bluewater-sweden-ef5Ex8aZdNY-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"ecofriendly lifestyle sustainable travel in europe\n\" class=\"wp-image-13998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/bluewater-sweden-ef5Ex8aZdNY-unsplash.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/bluewater-sweden-ef5Ex8aZdNY-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/bluewater-sweden-ef5Ex8aZdNY-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to reduce single-use plastic is to bring your own reusable bottle. It is a great way to avoid buying plastic bottles, which are the type of plastic that we use the most. Thus, bringing your own reusable bottle also allows you to save costs. In many countries in Europe, you can find drinking fountains to refill your reusable bottle. It is a nice way to save money from buying bottled water, also stepping into a more sustainable way of travel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Mindful of Your Energy Usage<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/jacek-poblocki-6Qin0S4TOt8-unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"safe up energy to travel more eco-friendly sustainable travel in europe\" class=\"wp-image-14002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/jacek-poblocki-6Qin0S4TOt8-unsplash.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/jacek-poblocki-6Qin0S4TOt8-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.joinmytrip.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/jacek-poblocki-6Qin0S4TOt8-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">            <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you know that electricity is one of the main contributors to climate change? Yes, it is. That\u2019s because 40% of fossil fuels are burned for electricity, emitting tons of carbon emissions annually. So, be mindful of our energy consumption and reduce unused electricity usage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are in your accommodation, make sure to turn off electronic appliances that you don\u2019t need.
