It is much better for the environment if you travel less often and when you travel, stay for a longer period of time. This way, you will reduce your carbon footprint.\u00a0 Flying over to Bali just for a short weekend break is not the best option to fully enjoy the island either.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Be a slow traveller<\/strong><br>Spend more time in one place and if you want to travel around, see if you can take public transport. For instance, take the boat from Bali to get to the Gili Islands instead of flying over to Lombok and taking the boat from there.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Choose airlines that are environmentally conscious<\/strong><br>Air travel is not really great for the environment, but many airlines are trying their best to reduce the impact. Before you book the flight, check if your airline has any eco-friendly program (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qantas.com\/travel\/airlines\/environment\/global\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Qantas<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Accommodation\"><\/span>Accommodation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com\/guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/villa-jeda-villa-jeda-bali-pemutaran-general-12-589c4f9f0e0f2.jpg\" alt=\"eco villa bali\" class=\"wp-image-10717\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>By booking your island accommodation through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villa-bali.com?utm_source=VB-blog&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=bali-eco-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Villa-Bali.com<\/a>, you are already giving something back to planet Earth.
