What is sustainable entertainment when traveling?
Those who travel sustainably primarily use public transport such as trains or buses. Journeys can take several hours, so entertainment is needed on the journey. Sometimes it is pleasant to get into conversation with fellow travelers and you are surprised at the interesting people you meet. How does the person sitting next to you deal with sustainability in everyday life? What is his attitude towards it? Where does he travel to?
If these conversations don’t take place, then a book, audio book or movie about sustainability can be consumed. You can also use the time to learn more about topics that suit you. Constant learning and growth promote both professional and personal progress. Or become active yourself and forge visions for the future, let your creative thoughts flow or reflect on your own sustainable behavior. You can clean your mind and enjoy the time listening to relaxing music or meditate.
It is also sustainable to take care of your health. Take care of your mind and body. I recommend getting enough sleep, drinking enough water and eating a healthy diet. Because without a healthy body, you can’t put the same energy into a sustainable lifestyle. If you sit for a long time, moving your legs helps. Get up more often or use the time between train changes for a walk.
Whatever you do, do it in consciousness and the spirit of sustainability.
