Travelers Against Plastic (TAP), is the brainchild of the folks at Crooked Trails, a Seattle based travel company. The TAP Campaign’s vision is to catalyze a global movement resulting in the near-elimination of travelers’ dependence on single use plastics.
“As travelers we can all be part of the solution,” says Costas Christ, Editor at Large for National Geographic Traveler.
“Do everything you can to stop using disposable plastic water bottles when you travel. Bring your own water filter, buy local drinking water in recyclable glass bottles, and say no to plastic bags when you are shopping in marketplaces. We can help prevent more environmentally damaging and senseless waste from throwaway plastic in the places we love to visit.”
For more information, travelers can visit www.travelersagainstplastic.org to learn more about the issue, help share the initiative among their own communities and sign the pledge.
“Helping travelers avoid the scourge of plastic bottles is one of the foremost obligations we have as tour operators and hoteliers, and one of the easiest things we can do to reduce our environmental impact,” says Kurt Kutay, Founder and President of Wildland Adventures.
