The <strong>bags<\/strong> are closed, inside there are only the <strong>essentials<\/strong>, to be lighter and to bring back some <strong>memories<\/strong>, but only&nbsp;local and <strong>handmade<\/strong> products. Train tickets are on my&nbsp;smartphone, to <strong>avoid<\/strong> <strong>wasting<\/strong> <strong>paper<\/strong> unnecessarily. Just missing some&nbsp;water for the trip: <a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2019\/12\/no-to-plastic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>the plastic is banned<\/strong><\/a>, much better a convenient bottle that does not produce waste that kills our seas.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9687\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/travel-essentials-850x490.jpg\" alt=\"A sustainable holiday begins in you suitcase\" width=\"850\" height=\"490\"><\/p>\n<p>We get on the <a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2021\/04\/usa-coast-to-coast-train\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>train<\/strong><\/a>, transportation means that nonetheless has not lost its charm. We leave towards our destination, watching the changing scenery from the window, reading&nbsp;that book that I can never finish, on my e-reader, because&nbsp;<strong>trees<\/strong> are precious.<\/p>\n<p>We arrived at the station, now we must go to the B&amp;B. We are not close but we have thought of everything: through a car-sharing service will share the ride with other travelers, to save money and reduce our ecological footprint.<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-9688\" src=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/unsplash_5263607dd1bfc_2-870x490.jpg\" alt=\"The best means of transportation for your sustainable holiday is the train\" width=\"870\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/unsplash_5263607dd1bfc_2-870x490.jpg 870w, https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/app\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/06\/unsplash_5263607dd1bfc_2-570x320.jpg 570w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/ecobnb.com\/blog\/2021\/07\/reasons-eco-bnb-better-hotel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>hospitality<\/strong><\/a> of the accommodation&nbsp;staff we have chosen is different from that of the great hotel, less cold and more personal.

The building has been restored following the principles of <strong>green<\/strong> <strong>architecture<\/strong>, the water is heated by <strong>solar panels<\/strong> and energy comes from <strong>wind<\/strong>. The&nbsp;waste is transformed into&nbsp;<strong>compost<\/strong> or is&nbsp;separated, many objects are recovered and they found a second life, and so, in our room, an old door has become an original desk.
