Sustainability Etiquette in Sao Tome and Principe

Bring a reusable bag or bottle and be ready to sort your own waste, because recycling and formal waste collection are limited outside the main urban areas. On São Tomé and Príncipe, everyday sustainability is often practical rather than ceremonial: people rely on local produce, avoid unnecessary packaging when they can, and expect visitors to respect beaches, forests, and fishing areas by leaving them clean.
