- Eat Local and Seasonal Food: Dine at restaurants that prioritize locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. This supports local farmers, reduces food miles, and often provides a more authentic culinary experience. Look for “Suisse Garantie” labeled products.
- Reducing Plastic Waste: Carry a reusable water bottle and avoid plastic shopping bag, and utensils to avoid single-use plastics and reduce waste.
- Conserve Mountain Resources: Be mindful of water and energy use in Swiss accommodations.
- Offset Flights Responsibly: If flying, choose carbon offsets with clear Swiss environmental benefits.
