🌍 5 Easy Steps to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Looking for simple ways to reduce your carbon footprint? At SlowTinys, we believe small changes can lead to meaningful impact. From how you travel to what you consume, every action counts when it comes to sustainability.
Here are 5 easy steps you can start today — even during your stay in our eco-friendly tiny house in Northern Portugal.
1. Choose Sustainable Transportation
Whenever possible, opt for walking, cycling, or public transport instead of driving. At SlowTinys, we’re just a short walk away from local trails and villages. You can also rent bikes to explore the area — it’s healthier and greener!
2. Support Local & Seasonal Products
Reduce your carbon footprint by eating local. Seasonal produce not only tastes better, but also requires less transportation and storage. Visit Arcos de Valdevez farmers’ markets or nearby small shops to buy local cheeses, vegetables, and bread.
3. Reduce Energy Use
Even on vacation, you can be mindful of energy. Turn off lights when not needed, unplug electronics, and use natural daylight whenever possible. Our tiny house is designed to be energy-efficient — with natural materials, good insulation, and plenty of sunlight.
4. Minimize Waste
Bring a reusable water bottle, say no to single-use plastics, and recycle your waste. We provide glass jars and cloth bags for guests. Small actions like these go a long way to reduce your carbon footprint and protect local nature.
5. Travel With Intention
Slow travel is more than a trend — it’s a mindset. Instead of rushing to see everything, choose to connect deeply with fewer places. At SlowTinys, we encourage guests to embrace the rhythm of nature, stay longer, and discover the beauty of simplicity.
💚 Every Step Counts
By choosing to reduce your carbon footprint, you’re joining a growing movement of responsible travellers. Your choices — from your meals to your means of transport — matter. Let’s create a more conscious way of exploring the world.
