    The choices that you make while you are still at home before you even begin your journey from the USA to Nigeria can go a long way towards making you a more eco-friendly traveler.

More weight means more fuel used for your trip, and bringing your own water bottle saves using plastic water bottles that contribute tremendous waste to the environment. Do your best to try to find direct flights rather than flights involving multiple stops as they save a tremendous amount of fuel per mile traveled. If you can choose flights that occur during the daytime since emissions from flights will tend to trap less heat in the environment during the day than they will in the cooler evening hours.
