How to reduce your carbon footprint during your trip to Sweden

Here are some simple steps you can take to reduce your carbon footprint while traveling to Sweden:

1. Travel by train or car instead of flying. Most of Sweden’s trains are run on 100% renewable energy.

2. Pack light to reduce weight on planes. Rent our clothing for our Winter trips in Swedish Lapland.

3. Use public transportation instead of renting a car. Trains and buses in Sweden are quite reliable.

4. Choose eco-friendly accommodations. If you plan to stay in Stockholm before or after the trip with us we recommend Scandic, a chain of hotels that are both eco-friendly and nice.

5. Avoid single-use plastics.

6. Choose local and sustainable food options.

7. Conserve water and electricity.

8. Offset your emission, but prioritize reducing them in the first place.

Fly less often

Just by ditching one flight per year from your current schedule, you can make a significant impact in reducing carbon emissions. Not only is it better for the environment, but it can also open up opportunities for alternative modes of travel, such as train or bus, which can often be more scenic and enjoyable.

Here are a few things you can take to reduce your carbon footprint if you fly:

• Fly direct where possible, with the least amount of stops.

• Choose economy class over first class.

• Travel light to reduce the amount of fuel needed.

• Choose airlines with lower emissions per passenger mile.

• Contact your national Transport Minister or local politician to call for fair taxation on aviation. Speak to them in person or make contact via social media.
