Aware of what you wear
Whatever the means of transport, eco-warriors should never neglect their armour. Saving the planet is a fashionable business, and it pays to look convincing. Environmentalism has still to shake off the New-Age look of the early 1990s, characterized by natural hemp and wooden love beads, but some sartorial advances have been made. Leather sandals, once a staple part of the eco-rucksack, are passé. The eco-traveller might now shop at Vegetarian Shoes, which was founded in Brighton in 1990 by Robin Webb, an ex-art student seeking a non-plastic alternative to leather.
The collection is manufactured out of recycled materials such as tyre rubber and wet-suit cast-offs, the most popular model being the £84 Veggie Trekker hiking boot. “Eco travellers don’t just want to be comfortable; they want to be chic,” says Webb, who recently trekked across the Western Sahara in vegetarian footwear. “The image of the environmentalist with long hair and hippy clothes is history. My collection even includes a pair of vegetarian stilettos.” Obviously, for those aspiring to live especially lightly on the planet, bare feet are preferable.
As far as the rest of the wardrobe goes, any natural linen clothing will do. Wooden buttons are preferable to metal zips and, while organic denim is acceptable, anoraks are not. This season, the fiercest eco-warriors will be wearing environmentally friendly fleeces, composed, in part, out of recycled Coca-Cola bottles. A selection can be found at Patagonia (available from branches of Snow+Rock), a company founded in the late 1960s by a group of surfers in California.
In the case of the more glamorous eco-resorts, you won’t need to pack much more than a bikini. But for those contemplating overland travel, the right kit is essential. Mosquito repellent should be made from natural plant extract, such as citronella, and if you intend to wash in a river, soap must be 100 percent biodegradable. Torches should be fitted with light-emitting diodes, allowing an extra 140 hours of battery power, and plastic packaging should be avoided wherever possible.
The Nomad Travel Store, which has branches in Bloomsbury and Bristol, stocks eco-friendly first-aid kits in nylon pouches with minimum packaging. But don’t, whatever you do, pack a case of Evian water. To avoid discarding empty bottles, all eco-travellers should take only one flask, in which they can purify local water with iodine drops. “If you want to travel responsibly you have to take some trouble,” explains Paul Goodyear, who founded the Nomad Travel Store 12 years ago. “The priority of today’s travellers is to make as little impact on the planet as possible.”
That may be, but it’s worth remembering that the most foolproof way of doing so is by staying at home.
