It's amazing how little you can do live a little greener.
You have probably heard a lot about how bad it is for the environment when you travel etc.
It's not nice to have that kind of cloud hanging over you head when you are planing you vacation ;) But there are small thing that you can do that will feel good for you as well as this planet.
Here is a top 5 list on how to travel a little greener.
1. Pack lightly. The heavier a plane is the more fuel it needs to get off the ground. Take one bag. That’s all you need. You can wash your clothes abroad.

2. Stay with a friend. Your friend is heating or cooling his/her house anyways. Staying with them uses significantly less energy than staying in a hotel. You will probably have more fun and it’s usually cheaper.
3. Stay at a green hotel. There are plenty of hotels out there that cater to the green lifestyle. If you are going to stay in a hotel, stay at one of those.
4. Pick and choose your souvenirs. Kitsch can be cool, but it’s not cool when you bring a seven miniature, steel Eiffel Tower statues across the Atlantic via airplane. You are wasting gas to give people stuff that is less valuable than our resources, our environment and our future.
5. Take the train. The train may not get you there very fast, but you meet interesting people. You can sit by the window and watch the beautiful countryside unfold in front of you.
