Vacation Travel


The following list of tips will help you to reduce the contribution of your travel to air pollution. By carefully planning longer trips according to type of transport and length of travel, and trying to coordinate group travel, you can reduce your emissions of air pollutants and greenhouse gases significantly.


Tips

•If alternatives exist, avoid travelling by plane, since it consumes more energy than any other form of transport.
•Try to travel by train and bus as much as possible, since they are the least expensive in terms of both economic cost and pollution.
•Try using an energy calculator to figure out how much energy you will use on your trip.
•Consider planting some trees to offset the carbon you released into the air during your travels.
