Daily Greenz #131

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.

When it comes to traveling, whether it’s a weekend getaway or a weeks-long foray into another country, it’s reassuring to bring along a travel book or two to help us navigate unfamiliar territory.  That being said, it’d be nice if these travel books were slim and tailored to our interests, so we wouldn’t have to lug around all 300 pages, as these travel guides tend to be.  Fortunately, Lonely Planet has heard our cry and has come up with a travel- and eco-friendly way to do just that.  You can now download and print any chapter from over 100 of their books, allowing you to custom-create your own travel book and saving you tons of paper and money.  Start planning your next vacation at just $2 – $4 a chapter at shop.lonelyplanet.com.
