My sustainable habits on the go (Part 3)

I’ve always traveled a lot for work. It might be less now that I have a dog, but I still travel a lot compared to most people.

What I’ve learned, however, is that, if you ever want to impress a stewardess, pull out your own coffee cup and ask them to pour your drink in that.

Sophia Hoffmann, my favorite chef, once said that bringing her own cutlery, her own plate, and her own coffee cup might be a small hassle for her. Yet every time she pulls it out, it might impact the people who see her do so. Sarah Reindl, the founder of the zero-waste store Das.Gramm in Graz, also brings her own straw whenever she goes out and has already inspired several people to follow her lead.

The reason why I’ve written these three articles about my sustainable habits and have gone into great detail on how I deal with my period or what arguments actually managed to make me want to go vegan is the example we set with our actions.

This third article (Parts 1 and 2 are here) explores the habits I’ve established that, despite my jetsetter lifestyle, I’ve somehow managed to make attainable.

Bringing my own lunch

I used to be someone who ate out A LOT. Eating out is fast. It’s also extremely convenient. As someone who is used to eating a warm meal for lunch (blame my upbringing), it was out of the question to bring sandwiches along. It never worked for me and so I continued eating out.
