YOU TRAVEL
Research Your Options
Key to any sustainable travel is research and planning. For example, you can choose certain hotels that are green-certified or participate in sustainable practices.
Purchase Carbon Offsets
By purchasing carbon offsets before you travel, you can learn what your carbon footprint would be on a set of flights, for example. This helps defray the carbon emissions.
Leave No Trace
If you are going somewhere “off-the-beaten-path” then please remember to leave no trace behind. Dispose of trash properly, don’t desecrate native flora and fauna. Keep places pristine.
