Earth Day = green travel

Smarter Travel reports on green travel for Earth Day.

Tips to be greener include:
  • use less paper napkins
  • walk instead of drive
  • reuse hotel towels
  • use reusable water bottles
  • visit a farmer's market
  • take shorter showers
  • stay in an eco-friendly hotel
This month, resorts are offering a variety of eco-programs and deals. Opt for Santa Fe's Eldorado Hotel & Spa and save 15 percent with a "go green save your green" deal. The San Marco Island Marriott Beach Resort offers free eco-education activities until April 24. (Dolphin Monday, anyone?) In California, Loews Coronado Bay Resort invites families to explore a state beach with an environmental educator and then help with a beach cleanup. The Hyatt Regency Monterey lets you buy a tree sapling with proceeds to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Or book in April with Planeterra and receive a 10 percent discount on all volunteer travel.
