A great way to green up your travels is to make your own travel toiletries before you hit the road. Hotels waste a lot of resources on those mini shampoos, soaps, lotions, and other misc. bathroom items. Each time someone uses one of them and doesn't take it with them, the hotel is forced to throw it out. Making your own travel toiletries is easier than you might think. Once you have all of your toiletries in place, don't rush out just yet to get a toiletries bag.
It's important that your bag for your toiletries is waterproof and zips shut. Without these two important features in place, your bathroom goodies could spill out onto everything else. Believe me, that's a sure way to ruin a day.
