If it\u2019s possible, consider traveling by train. It\u2019s better for the environment, and it\u2019s a proper adventure. Enjoying fresh local produce is a great way to support local producers and limit your impact. Energy is about not using more than you need to just because you are on holiday. Recycling is about helping as much as it is about not preventing others from making an impact. Finally, Carbon offsetting is a great option to restore the balance in nature.
