Green Travel Tips
Flying
- Try to avoid flying if at all possible; take a train or other means of public transportation to your destination
- If flying is unavoidable, opt to offset your flight's carbon emissions by funding projects working to remove Carbon Dioxide from our atmosphere
- Buy an electronic ticket, which is safer and more convenient, rather than a paper ticket, which wastes paper and can easily be misplaced
- Take the bus, train or subway to the airport instead of driving your car
- Pack light; the lighter an airplane's load is, the less fuel it consumes
- If traveling for work, allow yourself a vacation at your destination after business is complete rather than planning an additional one at a later date
Public Transportation
- Walk or bike to your destination instead of boarding a vehicle
- Learn the local bus, tram, subway and/or train system and use them in place of a rental car whenever possible
- Avoid catching taxis
Renting a Car
- If available, opt for a hybrid car
- Choose the smallest vehicle that will accommodate you and your companions
- Instead of renting multiple vehicles, plan a car pool or car share schedule with fellow travelers
- Be sure you're ready before starting your car; don't leave the engine running while you run back and forth retrieving forgotten items
- Drive with the windows rolled down and the air conditioning off
- Use alternative forms of bio fuel if available; otherwise, opt for environmentally friendlier premium petrol
- Charge electronics in your hotel room rather than off your car battery
Staying in Hotels
- Choose a green hotel that uses environmentally friendly practices in its everyday operations
- Ask about your hotel's recycling program and participate in it
- Take shorter showers and turn off the tap while brushing your teeth
- Remember to turn off lights, TVs, air conditioning, heaters and other appliances before leaving your room
- Bring your own toiletries instead of using the over packaged ones provided by the hotel
- Take pictures with your own digital camera rather than using wasteful disposable ones
