>> What eco-friendly actions do you take when you travel? Do you even think about being "green" on vacation?

I wouldn't mind sitting in a villa right now! Great tips, though, I'm going to have to remember these for our next vacation.
Thanks so much for joining us for Friendly Friday!
We always reuse our towels and linens. I'm not a huge fan of people coming into our room when we aren't in it or even when we are! LOL
Thanks so much for stopping by! I'm following you back! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Oh how I too wish I was sitting in a villa but on the first day of vacation:)
When we were on vacation we do about the same things. We actually booked a hotel stay in an eco-friendly hotel that I just loved but they are not easy to find and more than often not at all. We definitely participate in the hotel linen/bath towel program, we bring our own snacks in the bags they come in but as needed we use reusable snack bags and have our stainless steel water bottles to take wherever we go. We love to walk everywhere we can because it allows us to take in so much more. Where I don't do as well is packing light but I am improving.
My Baby's Green - what eco-friendly hotel did you book? I'm interested!
Good tips! The resort we go to in Jamaica provides reusable water bottles that you can use while you're there. I have to say that I probably don't put as much thought into being green on vacation as I should.
