However, we can not forget to be sustainable even in these moments of total relax to protect the beach and the sea that host us. Here are 10 simple rules to be green and respect the environment even in the summer.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Sunscreen\u00a0that do not pollute<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14590\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/maciej-serafinowicz-452-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"10 rules to be green even at the beach\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/maciej-serafinowicz-452-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/maciej-serafinowicz-452-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For a day at the beach you can not miss a sunscreen to protect yourself from the damage of UVA, UVB and IR rays, but it is very important to choose a product that does not pollute the sea. It is always easier to find organic\u00a0and eco sunscreens\u00a0that do not use chemical solar filters that are highly toxic to the sea and its organisms.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Zero waste<\/h2>\n<p>Bringing bags to pick up wraps and packs is essential to keep the beach clean. It is also best to avoid producing waste, for example, by not using disposable products.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Avoid hotels built on the beach<\/h2>\n<p>No to architectural monstrosity that ruins the surrounding environment! Unfortunately, the Italian beaches have been often cemented and, in some cases, destroyed. Instead of staying in these facilities it is always better to choose the eco-sustainable ones, even if they are a bit\u00a0further, that\u00a0offer organic food, respect nature and greenery, use\u00a0bioarchitecture and are\u00a0energy-conscious.<\/p>\n<h2>4. No plastic bottles<\/h2>\n<p>Do you know that if we don&#8217;t change\u00a0in 2050s in the oceans will be more plastic than fish? It is always important to avoid buying plastic bottles, and even more on the beach. You can bring comfortable bottles from the most classic to the more modern ones.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Digital detox holiday\u00a0on the beach<\/h2>\n<p>Why not give up on electronic devices at least on the beach? Enjoy the beauty of the sea, the scent of salt and the company of friends or family.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Sand is not a souvenir<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14591\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/aaron-burden-40487-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"10 rules to be green even at the beach\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/aaron-burden-40487-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/aaron-burden-40487-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Even today we\u00a0read about someone at the airport with a bottle full of sand or shells: a crime that seriously damages the environment, subtracting what nature has created in thousands of\u00a0years. It may seem like an innocuous gesture, but it is a serious damage to fragile ecosystems. Imagine if we\u00a0all do it&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>7. A green lunch or a snack<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14594\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/scott-webb-125443-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"10 rules to be green even at the beach\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/scott-webb-125443-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/scott-webb-125443-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Seasonal and local fruits and vegetables, reusable containers, biodegradable dishes and cutlery: even lunch on the beach can be sustainable.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Which beach?<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14592\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/nick-karvounis-123491-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"10 rules to be green even at the beach\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/nick-karvounis-123491-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/nick-karvounis-123491-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To be green it is also important to choose the right beach, or rather the one you can easily reach by giving up\u00a0the car and using the train or bike!<\/p>\n<h2>9. Leave jellyfish and starfish to their sea<\/h2>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-14596\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/pedro-lastra-124720-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"10 rules to be green even at the beach\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/pedro-lastra-124720-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/06\/pedro-lastra-124720-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Someone will still remember the sad story of the dolphin puppy dead because of tourists looking for an original selfie. It is much more common to find jellyfish and starfish in the children&#8217;s buckets, left in the sun. Rather than killing animals, teach to the younger the respect for them and for all the nature.<\/p>\n<h2>10. A bag\u00a0that is worth 10<\/h2>\n<p>Do you know the classic family preparing to go to the sea with a thousand bags? We advise you not to buy a bag\u00a0for every single need, especially avoiding the beach ones, which are almost always made in plastic.<\/p>\n<p>Here are our little tips for a summer we hope unforgettable, but definitely green and sustainable!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>You might also like:<\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2016\/03\/oceans-plastic\/\" target=\"_blank\">More plastic than fish in the sea by 2050<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2017\/05\/off-season-holidays-sea-italy\/\" target=\"_blank\">Off-season holidays by the sea in Italy<\/a><\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2016\/03\/eco-picnic\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ideas and tips for an eco-picnic<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The beach is the perfect destination for summer and not only.
