ECO-TRAVEL
ECO TRAVEL / SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL RESOURCES
Eco-friendly and sustainable travel products and services beneficial to planning and executing your solo travel over 50. Only valuable and reliable travel products that I use, or would use, are recommended. Use the clickable Directory for convenience.
This page may contain affiliate links for your convenience. For products, the goal is to first provide direct links to eco-friendly, ethical, and sustainable companies, and then to those same type (i.e., Climate Pledge Friendly Certification), of brands that use Amazon, if possible. Therefore, you may see multiple links for one option. Should you make a purchase through any link, I will receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. See my Disclaimers & Disclosures and Privacy Policy for more information.
