A4- I found that most of Europe does a good job of recycling. Better than the US anyway. Even the packaging of goods makes it easier to recycle

A3- Visit places in the offseason. It helps the local environment by not adding to the peak season trash and locals appreciate the business. Plus it can save you some cash.

My general answer is the colder the country or region - the more responsible, while the hotter the less so.
Compare Canada to India, or Alaska to Panama.
Of course exceptions (Singapore !) But then again there is China. 50% of all the world's plastic pollution

A5- When you go someplace, don't go as a tourist. Try to immerse yourself in the culture and do what the locals do

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A4. As a Scot, I am incredibly proud of the Right To Roam legislation that encourages responsible access to the countryside. And North Sea oil may be important to the economy but it hasn’t stopped us exceeding renewable energy targets. #PTTravel

replying to @findinganeish @kate_frankie A4. I also think Switzerland deserves a lot of respect. It’s transit networks are exceptional and its abundant wildlife speaks volumes about its green credentials. #PTTravel

replying to @Pinkzenjoy @Pinkzenjoy @kate_frankie Administrators can encourage, teach, fine, ban etc to promote sustainability BUT at the end of the day, folks just need to take ownership and decide to do the right thing for these destinations and heritage places. #PTTravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A5. Fly economy, walk or take public transport on arrival, shop locally, explore beyond major attractions and outside major cities, and donate any leftover currency before departure. And, for the time being, wash your hands often and wear a bloody mask. #PTTravel
