Why You Should Consider Slow Travel

11. It Helps Protect the Environment
One of the key aspects of slow traveling is staying in the same town or city for long periods of time. The immediate effect of not moving around too much is decreasing your carbon footprint as you won’t be taking as many flights or buses. And when you do visit another city, take a train because it’s not only more eco-friendly but you can quietly enjoy the journey too.
When you stay somewhere for a long time, you also tend to buy stuff more consciously. So, while other travelers might not care too much and carry their shopping in plastic carrier bags or buy bottled water, you’ll have the chance to carry yours in a flask and shop with reusable bags.
