When buying carbonated beverages from the supermarket, the greenest choice is to choose aluminum cans of soda packaged in a cardboard box with no plastic six-pack rings. The cans are completely recyclable and most communities will also recycle the cardboard box. This means the entire purchase is 100 percent recyclable. While plastic soda bottles are technically recyclable, their demand as a recyclable material is waning.

If you plan on visiting a destination for a long period of time, consider becoming a temporary member of the public library in the city you're visiting. Instead of buying new books and bringing them with you, consider visiting a local library at the start of your trip. That way you can check out the books and then return them before you leave as both an eco-friendly and free way to catch up on your reading and lighten your load when you travel.
