Summer is here and most of us are looking forward to our respite from our life.  Our summertime getaway.  As I write this mine is only 31 days away…I started counting down at about 90 days.  Well as you can imagine the travel industry is embracing the green movement with Ecotourism.  This makes perfect sense considering that when we travel, we consume.

And often when we travel we seem to have an “It’s vacation” mentality that usually does not include conserving. From the gasoline we burn to the extra long showers we take in our hotel rooms, to the land we affect in our comings and goings, the impact can be enormous.

In this week’s article we explore the top three areas that make the biggest impact when we are traveling.  We explore tips from turning off your water heater at home (creating a huge savings) to using public transportation and walking on the vacation end.  Oh and my favorite…take a sailing cruise.

To help out with making your vacation even more green, be sure to bring along some stainless steel 32oz. sport bottles that you may fill with water from a safe source. Carry it with our Insulated Bottle Carrier Tote

We even have a stainless steel kid version! And for your infant/toddler, the Foogo 7oz Leak-Proof Sippy Cup is your best bet.

Naturally-derived insect repellants, suntan lotions, and balms, are also easier on your body and the environment. Our Outdoor Adventure Kit and Kids Outdoor Kit are your cost-effective green adventure companions.
