Green travel is about respecting people in the local environment, it is about giving back to the local economy and respecting the people in the local environment where you are visiting. It is also more than just the environment, traveling green is one way of saying "please help us in saving or mother earth", being responsible for making right choices and helping one another, even if it is little by little it is building a better community and future.
Look for hotels with a "Green Score. " While some hotels may only have one leaf, keep in mind that even one leaf is a step in the right direction. It's important to support the green efforts that each hotel takes because it shows management that they are doing the right thing, and it encourages further expansion of green programs. These are some really simple steps you can take to help green up your stay, even if you did not book with a Green Scored Hotel. Encourage the hotel you chose to go green or thank them for the green programs that they participate in. By all means, if your hotel has a sheets and towels reuse program, use it and bring your own toiletries, if you do open any of the ones the hotel supplies, take home the unused portion and then of course recycle.
Staying at home and cleaning the house with the lights off on your next vacation would definitely be the best way to go carbon neutral, but what fun would that be; so if you're planning on taking a long road trip or doing a lot of driving on your vacation, consider a hybrid car rental. The car rental company that comes to mind for renting a hybrid and fuel efficient cars is Enterprise, they are also known to support alternative fuel research and have pledged to plant trees over the next 50 years.
Going green is no longer enough to be just green at home; we need to extend that green behavior while on vacation. Even those of us who are ultra green at home can sometimes forget about our environmental commitments while we are on vacation. Green travel is good for business, good for people and good for the planet; it is mindful travel encompassing literally every combination of preferences you can dream up. So keep in mind that green travel is about big hearts, not big budgets, be good to Mother Earth and all the rest of us here on the planet while you are on vacation. We all thank you.
