​
Aluminium Refillable Water Bottles
An aluminium refillable water bottle is the first item you should buy when trying to reduce your single-use plastic consumption. There are a range of bottles on the market and have included a selection of respected brands. Sigg are slightly more expensive, but are lightweight and durable, the perfect​ travel companion for the eco-friendly minded. Don't forget to ​buy sterilisation tablets!

Straws - Bamboo Paper, Bamboo Wood and Aluminium
On beach cleans, plastic straws are always found. Yes you can say no to a straw, but drinking a fresh coconut or sunset cocktail isn't quite so easy - so just take your own! I do. I carry my bamboo straws with me everywhere, but you can choose bamboo paper or aluminium.

Sporks and Reusable Coffee/Tea Mug
Stop using single-use cutlery and take-out coffee cups, which are another large contributor to plastic pollution. Instead, purchase one of these reusable products! A spork is a spoon + fork in one and they are small, lightweight and super easy to carry. We bought ours 5 years ago and are still using ​them. The re-usable travel mug collapses down making it super easy to carry. Perfect for your morning take-out coffee, ​hiking, camping and overseas travel.

Titanium Spork
A titanium spork ticks all eco-conscious boxes. Take it travelling, camping, hiking - take it everywhere! Buy singlularly or in packs of 2.

Canvas Shopping/Carry bags
I'm sure many of you ladies and gentlemen have a canvas shopping bag by now, but I have included them just in case you don't. It wouldn't be responsible of me to discuss reducing your single use plastics if I didn't include an alternative to plastic bags! I have a selection of sizes including foldable bags that are permanently in my handbag/car/gym bag etc, and Sy carries one in his daybag. These reusable mesh veg bags also eliminate the need to put your loose fruit and veg in plastic bags at the supermarket.

Discard Your Cigarette Butts Responsibly
If you are a smoker, did you realise that discarded cigarette butts are a huge offender in polluting our oceans? The filters (butts) do not bio-degrade and millions are collected each year on beach clean ups. By purchasing one of these portable pocket cigarette butt holders, when there is no bin available, you can store your used cigarettes until you find a bin to throw them away.

We swear by pacsafe and, although they may not be the cheapest products on the market, the piece of mind they give is priceless. They have an excellent range of products to suit your every travel need.
​
​Pacsafe and  Bag Protector
Why is it called a pacsafe? Because it keeps your back-pack safe, with its tamper proof mesh wire cage. Simple as that. We have used ours for securing luggage in hostel/hotel rooms that do not have a safe, and on overnight train journeys.

Electronic Accessories
We live in an electronic driven world and we all have multiple devices. All of these accessories have proved invaluable to us on a daily basis.

Sy used to work in back-up recovery so we have a few that we use for backing up photographs, music as well as storing movies and box sets. NEVER keep photos only on your laptop or camera, back them up with an external hard drive, we cannot stress this enough.

Powerbank
​Our powerbank has been a life-saver on  many occasions. Re-charging phones etc on long journeys by plane, train or coach, and on islands which have power cuts. A powerbank should be part of your emergency disaster kit.
