Ecotravel news' own ecotravel

Ecotravel news was away for a few days to the Washington, D.C. area, and although perhaps this doesn't strike one as an ecotravel destination, we try to be environmentally conscious when traveling even on short trips.

First of all we used public transportation to get there, one of the handy and cheap Chinatown buses. We took the NYC subway to get to the bus station in Chinatown. The bus was pretty much full and we noticed that when the driver gassed-up he used ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel.

Once in D.C. we used their subway system to meet up with our friend's private car, which when used, always had at least three people in it.

There are many other options for quick getaways, but the cheapest it turned out was also environmentally minded.
