Going green 6.20.08
5 Green-friendly vacations:
- Ride the train! Train travel — a great low-carbon alternative to planes or cars — allows you to slow your pace and enjoy the passing scenery.
- Voluntourism. You can give back while you get away. Earthwatch Institute (http://www.earthwatch.org) is one of the foremost organizers of volunteer trips.
- Take a green road trip. Rent a hybrid or take your own eco-efficient vehicle on a road trip across the heart of America on historic Route 66.
- Visit a national park. The U.S. National Park System is composed of nearly 400 sites across the nation, offering scenic trails and access to our nation’s stunning wilderness.
Stay in an eco-lodge in Costa Rica. This is a country rich in natural wonders and wildlife. Choose to stay in one of the numerous eco-lodge options, which range from tent camps with no electricity to luxurious accommodations in the wild.
