Go Green!!


Green…Green….Green,
Seems like a great idea? Everyone seems to be getting the hang of the ECO-friendly trend. How does Orlando travel fit into the big picture? Everyone can contribute to a little part to save the earth. Just a contribution here and there can male a big difference on how the environment is affected. Here are some ways travel industry is taking on the green scene.

Vacationers can help by choosing eco friendly cars from a car rental company that provides hybrids. Think small. Do you really need the luxurious 8 passenger SUV when there is really only 4 in your party?

If you plan to fly as your mean of transportation to your destination consider packing light. The more belongings you bring, the more fuel a plane uses to transport you and your luggage.

There are many companies that offer services where you don’t have to drive and save help the earth with carbon tracing. USA Vacation Homes & Spa offers in home Spa treatments and a chef of your own so you don’t have to go out and eat.

Find activities that help nature. Orlando has many attractions and places to visit that have taken the green turn such as Universal Studios who has recently announced that they will be going green. Many Disney Hotels such as Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge have already received a Green score (how one contributes to helping the environment). Visiting natural parks and other nature reserves are great to visit especially since Florida wildlife is perfect and it is also a good look at what we might lose if we don’t start to make change when we go home or when you travel.

Orlando is a beautiful place. I was there during last summer for one of my vacation trip.
