We accumulate a lot of trash while we’re traveling, whether at the airport or during a road trip. Try these tips below on your next trip.

1. Pack A Snack 

Try to eliminate the number of single-use plastics you use. Instead of buying a pack of chips on the road, pack a snack at home and bring it with you. Try using a reusable plastic container, or beeswax wraps to pack your goodies.

2. Use A Reusable Water Bottle

Take a reusable water bottle with you on your trip. Places like airports and rest stops have filtered water stations for you to refill. This action alone can avoid dozens of single-use plastic bottles from being used.

3. Bring Your Own Shampoo

We know it’s super fun to use all the travel-sized shampoo and conditioner in hotels, but think about how many single-use plastics are getting thrown away when you use them every day of your stay. Try using a shampoo bar, which is reusable and helps the environment a little at a time.

Keep your lovely city clean with TRWD! Join them at the bi-annual trash bash, which helps to keep the river and the city clean, but they can’t do it alone. We would love for you to volunteer to help create a cleaner and more positive environment in Tarrant County.
