Plastics free vacation advice from our staff


“I have given up shower gel. Good old fashioned soap does the trick and I love buying new, natural ones at local markets when I travel. Just break off a small bit to travel with and then buy a bar when you are there. Solid shampoo is fabulous too, and there are lots of natural ones out there. I use organic coconut oil as a moisturiser. Heat it under the tap until it becomes liquid and then pour it into small glass container for traveling. Sun cream also comes in a tin; check out ‘Shade’ from Not the Norm Ltd as a good example.” – Catherine Mack, travel writer
“Some cities have an app or map you can download to help you find public water fountains so you can refill a water bottle, like this one for Paris. Plastic versus single use plastic is an interesting one – my plastic flip flops are on their third summer, whereas the fabric/bamboo type ones I bought fell apart after a month.” – Nicola Keen, IT projects manager
“Sitting around waiting for governments and corporations to solve the plastics crisis isn’t an option. I firmly believe that direct, local activism by individuals is needed to create a global mass clean-up – regardless of if and when any legislative changes start happening. A man in India called Afroz Shah has been a huge source of inspiration – look him up! Closer to home, volunteering with Surfers Against Sewage to clean beaches and coastlines in Sussex helped me to feel that I was making a small difference to this huge problem.” – Chris Kearney, account manager


“What about not using drinking straws when ordering drinks – or even bringing your own stainless steel straw? You can get some now that fold up and fit in a little box you can put on your key ring!” - Tessa O'Hara, help desk
“When I am on a walking or self catering break, I take my own lunch box. That way I can pack sandwiches without plastic bags or the squashing effect!” – Lyn Hill, finance manager
“I started in January to be more plastic conscious, and when I go to Chicago in June, I am planning to take my stainless steel food tin, keep cup, cloth bag, soap, water bottle, stainless steel razor for shaving and homemade toothpaste. Also if you are looking for inspiration, I follow Sustainably Vegan on YouTube, zero waste pioneer Lauren Singer, Zero Waste Home and Sustainably Vegan's new hashtag #thelowimpactmovement on Instagram.” – Daisy Vasanthakumar, content editor
