 You just need to do a little planning in advance to find the most eco-friendly travel options, but trust me it can be done. Eco-Friendly Transportation 1. Getting There Planes, trains, and automobiles... Of these, planes are the worst, but if you fly on an airline that has taken measures to reduce their carbon footprint by eliminating excess waste and recycling as much as possible, it will be better. Southwest is an airline you might want to consider which has done a lot to reduce their carbon footprint. What about trains? Trains are a very scenic way to travel and they are not terrible on the environment. Automobiles? If you are making a road trip, then consider renting a hybrid vehicle if you don’t currently own one.  2. Hotels
Look for hotels that use green programs. Also check the hotels location and make sure there is plenty of public transportation nearby that you can use. Once in your hotel, notify them that you don’t need new towels every day. Turn lights off when you leave the room and adjust the thermostat when you are not in the room to use less electricity. 3. Exploring/Sightseeing Even though you checked your hotel to see that it has public transportation, also consider finding other ways to travel. If you stay in the city centers you will be able to walk to many places of interest, plus cafes and shops. You could also consider renting a bicycle for the week and traveling by bike. 4. Leave It Cleaner Than When You Got There It is always good practice to pick up trash when you see it. It can help balance out your carbon footprint and is just the right thing to do. 5. Shopping Also shopping at local farms, farmers markets and small fruit stands while you are away, instead of the grocery store is another way to reduce your carbon foot-print. You will find fresh, local produce and save money too. Staycations are also a great way to reduce your carbon footprint by exploring things right in your own area and being in nature. Travel definitely takes its toll on the environment, but if you do choose to go away, you can still reduce your carbon footprint when you travel. How do you approach an eco-friendly vacation?  It's Spring in New Mexico!  Remember the plum tree that was struck by lightening?  It is the same tree I caught my neighbor (from down the street) trying to pull up? Via a rope and his car?  Because he just knew it was dead? Yeah...that was a wild day. Anyway, this is THAT very same tree all decked out in spring blossoms!  They are just beginning to flower...the pictures do not do it justice.  Overflowing with pretty pink blossoms.   Aren't they pretty?   I have this in a vase, it's so perfect it doesn't look real.   Just a few more..   It's actually still far from warm here.  But I'm not wearing 5 layers - only two now. Happy Spring! |
