Sustainability Etiquette in Eritrea

Sustainability is usually expressed through careful use of scarce resources, so travelers should avoid wasting water, electricity, and food and should expect people to reuse, repair, and conserve whenever possible. In everyday life this practical frugality is shaped by dry conditions and limited infrastructure, and in rural areas you may also see strong reliance on local farming, small-scale reuse, and community sharing rather than disposable habits.
