Sustainable travel tip: Plan ahead. Type A travelers will love this. When you travel, ask yourself — whose pocket will this money end up in? It's easy to spot chain restaurants, hotels and stores with big-named brands you know off the bat, but a lot of offshore companies are good at branding their shops as small businesses. There's no need to Google every store before you walk in off the street, but the big stuff — the tour groups, the local attractions — that you book before you even board the plane, that's where you'll be able to make decisions that make an impact.
