The Best Ways to Be Sustainable in Denmark
As of 2020, Denmark has taken the top spot in the Environmental Performance Index (EPI), showing its leadership in climate change issues, such as ensuring clean drinking water and air quality, sustainable waste management, and sanitation. While Denmark’s cutting-edge policies are advancing the country’s sustainability efforts on a global scale, the effort to go green is ever-present in the day-to-day activities of the citizen. As a tourist, you can also easily contribute to making the planet a safer and cleaner space for all by choosing more sustainable options on your travels. Here are a few tips you can use on your next trip to Denmark:
Sustainable in Denmark | Public Tansportation
Renting a car when travelling to a new destination is a popular choice among tourists. Still, when a country has such a developed rail, metro, bus, and ferry infrastructure, it is easy to enjoy your trip hassle-free and protect the planet simultaneously. Figuring out public transportation in all of Denmark is extra easy by using the journey-planning app Rejseplanen.

Sustainable in Denmark | Cycling
In 2019, Copenhagen was named the most bicycle-friendly city in the world for a good reason. The combination of the advanced and well-designed cycling infrastructure and the country’s flat landscape makes cycling less of a workout and more of a pleasurable sightseeing activity and a convenient mode of transportation. Moreover, renting a bike is only a few phone clicks away, with bike-rental services such as the Donkey Republic and Bycyklen making the process foolproof.

Sustainable in Denmark | Organic Food
From organic hot dog stands to 3-star Michelin restaurants, Denmark has no shortage of eateries focusing on organic produce and sustainable practices. Some restaurants, such as Amass, go the extra mile to grow their food and use as many individual ingredients as possible, resulting in extraordinary food pairings. So if you prefer cooking for yourself when you travel, worry not. All Danish supermarkets have an extensive range of organic and locally grown/produced food.
