Last week, I rented a Tesla and drove to visit Arches National Park. I followed that with a day trip to Wendover, Nevada, at the end of the week.
I rented the Tesla less for ecological reasons and more for the fun of driving a car that zooms from the get-go. It's all electric, so I theoretically added 0 emissions on my 795-mile drive.
Along with that, I packed a grabber and some plastic grocery bags, as I thought I might find some trash along the trail to Delicate Arch. I was right. I filled a bag on my hikes up to Delicate Arch and into Devil's Garden.
My main claim to traveling responsibly is just that I make sure all my trash goes into a proper receptacle along with keeping unused paper napkins and unsoiled plastic bags that are suitable for reuse.
