Digital nomads life is not sustainable, said many. Living out of backpacks and relying on flights and disposable goods is unsustainable, adding many more. But is it so? Maybe on the face of it, it looks unhealthy and unsustainable. Still, digital nomads have deep power as individuals to reduce their carbon footprints and make their work and life sustainable by using their strong online presence.
If you are a baby digital nomad, read on to learn more about how to make the most of this new concept. And if you are still on the fence, maybe this article can convince you to become one. Either way, we hope these words stir you into taking some action, however minimal, to be more responsible towards the only home we have ever known.
It is impossible that you are or can be a digital nomad without flying! So you will rack up more miles than an average citizen. But of course, you can fly in an environment-friendly manner.
Of course, flying indirectly saves more money, but flying explicitly means less air time and less fuel which is good for the planet.
Your luggage weight directly affects carbon production in transportation, so carry less to reduce your negative impact on the environment.
You can also buy carbon credits directly proportional to your flight. This offsets your carbon footprint by supporting carbon sequestration projects and businesses that are trying to or have mitigated their carbon production.
Unless you are using an electric car, you are causing pollution. To avoid this, you can go around on public transport or use bike-sharing services that are quickly becoming popular. In case you have to use a car, make sure that you carpool. Remember to fill all the seats while carpooling for optimal results.
In case you own a car, know that basic car maintenance goes a long way in mitigating the harmful impacts. Make sure that the tires are inflated, as low tire pressure implies that the car has to work harder, which means more fuel. Also, go slow. Driving at a lower speed means more mileage on your fuel, reducing your carbon footprint and giving more bang for your buck. Now, that sounds good, doesn’t it?
Since the pandemic, many have been working remotely, and the work mode is not going away anytime soon. So, as a remote worker, your environmental impact is already lower than a brick-and-mortar office employee since there is no commute or daily waste involved. Your particular industry can also make your digital nomad life a sustainable one. For example, blogging is easy and accessible and a great platform to spread the word about the sustainability of being a digital nomad. Also, sharing your passion with fellow travelers and digital nomads can also build a community and boost the cause of sustainability.
There are also a host of ideas for sustainable businesses.
So now we hope that you see how the concept of a digital nomad is not a trend but an idea that can slowly but gradually change the way we work and live. Though it seems a little kitschy, a responsible digital nomad will understand how immense the task is, but with smart choices and ethical commitments, they can definitely change the world for the better!
