To kick off any eco-friendly vacation the right way, pick a non-stop flight. Planes actually release the most carbon emission during take-off and landing, so the less flights you have to take, the better…besides, who has time to sit around waiting for a connection?! Once at your destination, try to get around by foot or bike. Not only are these alternatives to cabs a lot more fun, they also help reduce pollution. If you absolutely need a car, rent a hybrid. And when choosing a hotel, aim for options that promote green practices. Another thing you can do to help the environment while globetrotting is to try as often as possible to buy local — these items haven’t been shipped in from another country which saves emissions. Plus, helping local farmers and business owners will also warm your heart. And that’s a perk you should aim for no matter what’s on your green agenda.
