replying to @Pinkzenjoy @Pinkzenjoy @kate_frankie #pttravel Our guide in India did give out lots of complimentary bottles of water, but urged us to bring the empty bottles back to the coach, and he would ensure they were disposed of responsibly.

A2 Litter. On the ground, in bushes, in the sea, everywhere! There are usually bins but even if there aren't, I'm sure you could carry something until you found one.
Damage and vandalism is also unacceptable. Pollution, over-tourism and people being rude

#pttravel A2: bit of a weird, and non-travel related, comment about recycling, but.
... there's no consistency. The recycling policy of each UK local council is different - different things can be recycled, different things can go in different bins.

replying to @Stromfieldadvs @Stromfieldadvs @Txiki_Tales #pttravel I have known folk to pick up after their dog ... then leave the bag by a hedge, or hang it from a tree or something. Do they think the DS Fairy will come by & pick it up?

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith @kate_frankie In some hotels these days, there's usually a water dispenser where you can refill. Even indian airports have water filling stations. But I think the world needs to do more to get rid of this plastic bottle menace. #pttravel

replying to @char_x0 @char_x0 @kate_frankie I can't think of a single city I've visited that has benefitted from the arrival of a cruise. In November we had a lovely day in Malaga - then THREE ships arrived overnight and unleashed more than 10,000 day-trippers. #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot #pttravel so in Ashfield, glass is separated from cardboard/plastic, whereas here in Sheffield, glass/plastic is together and separated from cardboard.

replying to @char_x0 @char_x0 Yes. A couple in restaurants spoke to me about it. They don't see any gain from it, only negative impact #PTTravel

replying to @char_x0 @char_x0 @kate_frankie Public transport + active travel (walking, cycling etc) is such a good thing, not just for saving carbon emissions, but it also reduces congestion + traffic around cities + natural sites #PTTravel

Enjoy the trip around the #GoldenCircle from #Reykjavik. There are some great natural beauty sights in #Iceland at the stops along the way. https://t.co/jdFqvhBSCQ #PTTravel

replying to @Pinkzenjoy @Pinkzenjoy @kate_frankie #pttravel Usually, I use an aluminium Sigg bottle I've had almost since the beginning of time. But, in some places, I just can't find a source of potable water.

@NomadKeith @Pinkzenjoy @kate_frankie On our hike across Great Britain last year, I had one Sigg bottle and one Water-To-Go bottle. The latter was filled up from mountain streams, the former usually in the pub (*). :D

@kate_frankie A3: There were a multitude of reasons but I ended up taking three overseas trips by land last year.
Certainly within Europe, it's possible to take alternative travel routes that don't require flying #PTTravel

A3 We stayed in the Holiday Inn Express in Nuremburg a couple of years back - they give you the option of swapping room cleaning for a complimentary drink. Double-win! #PTTravel

replying to @findinganeish @findinganeish @kate_frankie Yes, it has made an impact on us too. We want to travel and we will but each trip in or out of the UK we will 'risk assess' #pttravel

replying to @kate_frankie @kate_frankie A3. For four months now they’re the only trips I’ve been able to make. I’ve walked everywhere, really cut back on takeaway coffees and started working from home. I plan to continue as much as possible going forward. #PTTravel

A3 #PTTravel I don't have any photos of litter; I've even been known to pick it up and bin it before taking my photo' But, here's some photos of a 'bear-proof' litter bin in Canada ... where even the bears can read French!
