Taking an eco-friendly vacation can help you to do your part to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that is generally released into the air when vacationing, thereby reducing your pollution and global warming impact. Other considerations include saving resources, supporting local people's livelihoods and ensuring that your footprint is smaller than it might otherwise be if you took a vacation without considering these things.
When planning an eco-friendly vacation, it's important to begin with your methods of transportation and the places you stay, such as hotels or resorts that practice green living methods, such as recycling and perhaps even using renewable energy sources. Your destination is also key to your eco-friendly vacationing experience––by choosing a location in which you can participate in outdoors activities and other events that contribute to green living, you support the efforts of those countries and organizations trying to increase the eco-friendliness of their practices.
