  3. 1 BOOKING
    It takes 14 mature trees to make a tonne of magazine newsprint – or 10,000 holiday brochures. Booking online can aid the environment.

    2 PREPARATION
    Time to state the obvious: cancel food and newspaper deliveries, and unplug as many appliances as possible before you leave. Without the standby function, we could shut two UK power stations.

    3 PACKING
    Take less. It’s less for you to lug around – this is a holiday, after all – and less for the plane to carry, which, to the last gram, has a fuel impact.And consider buying clothes at your destination: they can double as a memento of your trip.

    4 AT YOUR DESTINATION
    You may not be paying for the air conditioning that’s left running in your hotel room when you’re out for the day, but the planet is. As you did at home, turn off your lights, television, heating and air-con while you’re out.

    5 DO AS THE LOCALS DO
    Enrich your travel experience by supporting the local economy. This is probably the biggest benefit your visit can bring, whether through your choice of food, souvenirs or trip guides. Drink regional wine, beer and liquors, eat local produce and avoid imported multinational brands, with their associated food miles.
