According to the EPA, Greenhouse gas emissions from transportation account for about 29 percent of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, making it the largest contributor of U.S. emissions. Vacationing while staying put is a great way to lower greenhouse gas emissions. You don\u2019t have to fly or drive to take an awesome vacation! Especially while we\u2019re spending time at home, it\u2019s a great time to explore your own city. Rent a bike or take a self-guided street art tour. Order one takeout dish from different restaurants and have a picnic at the park! You can even wear your favorite summery outfit and take touristy photos. The options are endless, so get creative while you do good for our planet!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"130\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Manuela_5tips_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Manuela_5tips_2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Manuela_5tips_2.jpg?resize=300,39 300w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Manuela_5tips_2.jpg?resize=768,100 768w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Manuela_5tips_2.jpg?resize=584,76 584w, https:\/\/www.ae.com\/aerie-real-life\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Manuela_5tips_2.jpg?resize=210,27 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We are currently using a million plastic bottles per minute. Plastic bottles cannot be recycled. This means that they cannot be turned into another plastic bottle. If anything, plastic bottles are actually downcycled\u2014meaning that they can be turned into something new, like a park bench. By using your own<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/us\/en\/s\/aerie\/172ajmq?Ntt=water%20bottle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> reusable bottle<\/a>, you are reducing how many new bottles are consumed.

jumped in the water and felt your sunscreen wash off? The chemicals in our sunscreens have been linked to causing harm to marine life and coral reefs. It\u2019s estimated that 6,000 tons of sunscreen wash into coral reefs around the globe each year. Hawaii became the first U.S. state to ban the sale of sunscreens containing two common chemicals, oxybenzone and octinoxate, which many researchers worldwide have deemed potentially harmful to aquatic life. Key West, FL soon followed with its own ban on products containing these ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before diving into the ocean, a lake, or a river, it\u2019s important to be conscious of what chemicals you are wearing on your skin. Look for \u201creef safe\u201d and \u201creef-friendly\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ae.com\/us\/en\/s\/sunscreen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sunscreens<\/a> without oxybenzone and octinoxate. There are more harmful chemicals being tested but this is a great place to start.
