Green Vacation

June 29th, 2011 posted by admin

Taking a “green” vacation is a lot of fun and easier than you realize. The following ten ways will help you save the environment while you travel. These tips will help lighten landfills, lower carbon emissions, reduce waste and even save your hard earned money.
• Print all your maps and information before you leave on your journey instead of buying maps and guidebooks that are expensive. This way you will be able to spend money on more worthwhile items.
• You should pack light when you travel. The rule of thumb is to decide what you believe you will need and cut it in half. Extra weight can cause you to use more fuel and may also cost extra for baggage on planes.
• Purchase a solar charger. These days most of the phones, cameras and MP3 players can be charged using a solar charger.
• Try to stay with your friends, family and acquaintance instead of staying at expensive hotels.
• Traveling by train or bicycle is the most eco-friendly and inexpensive option.
• If you do decide to rent a car, rent a smaller one. You spend less money on petrol for a smaller car.
• Eat food from the local market or grocery store. It will be less expensive, healthier and even tastier. Always buy water bottles to refill and tablets for water purification if the water is not the cleanest.
• Buy the local handicrafts. There are plenty of souvenirs that exploit the environment and the animal life however if you buy material made of crafts fabric you will be staying environmentally friendly. These handicrafts also tend to be a lot less expensive.
The above tips will ensure that your vacation is inexpensive, green and full of fun!
