BANG FOR THE BITE

 

 

 

If 10,000 Biters offset one jetsetter friend's yearly carbon emissions, it'll have the effect of planting 3,538,462 trees.

 

 

 

 

 

COCKTAIL FACTOID

 

 

The ultimate globetrotter is the Arctic tern bird, which undertakes the world's longest annual migration - a 21,750-mi annual journey spanning nearly from pole to pole.

What do you get for the person who can't seem to stay put?

The Bite

Something to make their travels a little less painful. We can't get rid of the kid kicking the back of your fave jetsetter's seat, but our travel accessory picks will give them one more reason to sit back, relax, and enjoy the eco-friendly skies.

 

The Benefits

 

Less eco-baggage. Per mile, plane travel creates more pollution than driving; opting for eco-travel essentials is a good way to help offset this.

Healthier globetrotters. The FDA doesn't regulate the ingredients of most personal-care products, so keep even travel-size chems off your giftee's body.

Flying with class. Just because they don't get complimentary champagne and lux seats in first class doesn't mean they can't travel in style.

 

Personally Speaking

Jen's ideal vacation is spending time at home on the range with her horse, but since she has to travel for work, the Ideal Bite team is stuffing her stocking with plenty of carbon offsets.
