Travel

: Guidelines 1 to 12 of 12
Buy handicrafts directly from artists or from an artisan co-op.: Buying handicrafts directly from an artist or from an organized local artisans co-op ensures that the money you spend will go directly to the artist.
Do a home exchange for your next vacation.: Home exchange is a great way to visit new places without putting a strain on another community's resources. Instead of creating a demand for more hotel rooms, you’re using a home that’s already there.


Don't use travel agents or tour operators who promote child sex: There are plenty of travel and tour agencies that promote and sell sex tours that involve children; don?t support these businesses.
Learn another language.: It’s never too late to learn a new language. As our world gets “smaller,” our chances of needing to communicate with someone who does not speak our native language increases. Why not start learning a new language today?
Live closer to town.: Living in or close to town saves gas money and is much less polluting than living in remote regions. Life is a bit easier over-all when one lives near stores and gas stations, its much better for the environment, your fuel budget, and your social life.
Request that hotels change your linens/towels every other day.: It's not necessary for hotels to change the linen daily if one is going to remain in the room. You wouldn't wash your own linen on a daily basis. It wastes water and electrical energy and it taxes the local water filtration system. Make yourself at home!
Stay in locally owned inns, hotels, or B&Bs.: Staying in locally owned hotels and B&Bs supports local small-business owners and ensures that giant hotel chains won’t be the only future option. Besides, they offer more local color and charm.

Stay on the trail.: Stay on the trail, don’t trample fragile undergrowth. If you must stray off the trail, be extra careful.
Telecommute.: Working from home saves fuel, reduces pollution and traffic as well as being easier on you and your family.
Travel to different places: Whether you circumnavigate the globe or visit a neighboring town, traveling shows us what the world is like in other places; we gain insight into the lives of others and learn about ourselves in the process.
Try to keep your babies quiet when on an airplane. rejected: An airplane is an uncomfortable place for adults. It is especially uncomfortable for infants. If you bring your baby on the airplane, pay extra attention to their comfort and try hard to keep them quiet for the sake of the other passengers' comfort
Volunteer for your next vacation.: A lot of great travel opportunities, both domestic and international, exist for people willing to volunteer their time during their next vacation.
