How we get around, whether it’s a daily commute or an overseas adventure, has a huge impact on the environment. Transport is one of Australia’s largest sources of carbon emissions, with cars, planes, and freight all contributing to climate change. But by choosing more sustainable travel options, we can reduce our footprint while still exploring, commuting, and getting where we need to go.
Low Impact Travel in Australia
Exploring Australia sustainably means choosing travel options that minimise environmental impact. Domestic flights and long car trips contribute significantly to carbon emissions, but there are greener ways to get around.
Public Transport & Cycling
Using public transport and active travel options like cycling or walking can significantly cut personal carbon emissions while also reducing traffic congestion and air pollution.
Electric Vehicles
Transitioning to electric and hybrid vehicles is one of the biggest shifts in sustainable transport. While EVs still require electricity, they produce far fewer emissions than petrol or diesel cars, especially when charged with renewable energy.
Eco-Friendly Packing & Travel Tips
Sustainable travel is about more than transport. Packing consciously, reducing waste, and making responsible choices along the way can help lower your footprint.
