A Sustainability Editor Shares the Eco-Friendly Travel Products She Can't Live Without
As a sustainability editor at Treehugger, I think about (and engage in!) eco-conscious travel a lot - and I have a tried-and-true array of green travel staples. For instance, I don't leave home (or the country) without my Naeco water bottle. And unless I am going someplace where people drink coffee in ceramic cups at the counter (hi, Italy), I bring my Stanley Adventure Vacuum Mug. It's the perfect petite size and helps me not participate in the to-go coffee-cup trash disaster.

For walking from one end of a city to the other, I always pack a pair of Veja vegan sneakers. And if there's a chance of rain at my destination, into the suitcase goes my ever-amazing Blunt Metro umbrella – a compact umbrella that stands up to the 55-MPH gusts and comes with a lifetime guarantee. (Umbrellas should not be disposable!)

My tote bag would be amiss without some Stasher bags. These reusable zipper storage bags are mostly used for food; they are great for travel snacks and eliminating single-use plastic. But they also work wonders for chargers, make-up, sunscreen, jewelry, and all the bits and bobs that I inevitably pick up while traveling.

Speaking of sunscreen, I like Badger products for their kindness to coral reefs. Using as little sunscreen as possible is the most eco-conscious approach, which is why I am obsessed with Eric Javits "Squishee" straw hats – they look great, and literally roll up and can get squished into your suitcase.

For more great eco-friendly travel ideas, check out TripSavvy and Treehugger's Best of Green Awards for Sustainable Travel. Every single winner on the list is remarkable, but there is so much more love to give.
