Traveling is a great way to see the world’s wonders and get in touch with unfamiliar cultures. Unfortunately, many travelers fail to consider how their adventures can affect the natural world around them. Some travelers are anything but eco-friendly, from their use of non-reusable plastics to their reliance on gas-powered vehicles.

But with some inspiration and insight, it’s possible to be a “greener” tourist. The following Instagram influencers have found ways to balance their passion for travel with their passion for the environment.
