Sri Lanka, like many countries in the continent, is oftentimes susceptible to pollution and litter. Help to preserve the natural beauty of this exquisite island by following these steps whenever possible.
Avoid the four
Stay clear of polythene/plastic bags, bottles, straws and cups during your travels. Request for eco-friendlier options like bamboo/metal straws.
Bring a bottle of water
Instead of purchasing plastic bottles, get a good bottle of water. You can easily refill from hotels and restaurants.
The right sunscreen
Protect the beautiful beaches reefs and their inhabitants by opting for reef-safe sun protection lotions.
Bring your toiletries
Any Nuwara Eliya luxury bungalow will provide essential toiletries but you can contribute to reducing plastic overuse by bringing shampoo, body wash, and conditioner in reusable travel-sized bottles. The likes of Stafford Bungalow are an option to look out for when looking for accommodation.
Use public transport/walk
A smart way to reduce your carbon footprint and keep you healthy on the go!
Eco-friendly accommodation
Consider patronising establishments doing their part to help the environment whenever possible.
Don’t litter
Not littering is the single best way to preserve any environment. In the absence of trash bins, bring your rubbish back with you to dispose of it responsibly.
