Visiting Greener Pastures with Lonely Planet

Daily Greenz #131

Code_green
Lately, the folks over at Lonely Planet have really been showing their true color- green, that is.  They understand the huge impact that traveling has on the environment, and as experts in the travel industry, they want to do their part to ensure their readers travel greener.  In addition to their recent release of chapter downloads that are saving tons of paper, they’ve now come out with a new guide, Code Green: Experiences of a Lifetime, that outlines 82 trips for travelers who are interested in sustainable globe-trotting.  Whether backpacking or going the luxury route, it offers a multitude of responsible travel experiences with three common denominators: leaving a light footprint on the environment, soaking up the local culture, and contributing in positive ways to the local economy all the while.  Code Green makes it possible to take a Route 66 road trip, study yoga at an ashram in India, or visit the mountain gorillas of Rwanda in the most eco-friendly way possible, without compromising the quality of the travel experience.  Plan your next escape for $10 at www.lonelyplanet.com.
