1. Take an Eco-Trip
There’s a chance you might get a cheap air deal to the city of your favorite team but those emissions will cost you. The biggest carbon footprint for your week more than likely is your transportation. But, you have a yearning to see the start of the baseball season that won’t go away, so instead choose an eco-friendly destination. This may involve sustainable housing, low-impact activities, and supporting local artisans and restaurants.
2. Take a Classic Spring Break Road-Trip
The open road, or maybe just free housing in a friend’s timeshare, is calling your name. Pack as many people into that car as it will hold, to pack the biggest punch in reducing your personal carbon footprint for what will surely be a memorable week. Better yet, why not rent a hybrid car while you’re at it. You’ll save on gas as well as save wear and tear on your car. Many car rental companies now offer hybrids among their fleet of rentals.
3. Find Fair Green Air Fares
Maybe your airplane tickets are already purchased, so there is no way to avoid those awful carbon emissions your flight will generate. Now what’s a green guy/gal to do? Well, carbon offsets are one way to take care of all of the CO2 you will generate. Another helpful option is to use tips to Green your Air Travel to make your time on the flight itself as green as possible.
4. Take Your Bike To Go
It will take a touch more planning ahead, but traveling by bike for a week is definitely the greenest way to go. Hop aboard a bus or train to the city or town to see the team you root for and spend the week learning the area, hanging out with the locals and just cruising around on your two wheels. Make sure you take a map with you and sunscreen, and get ready to see the town and your favorite team on an up close and personal level.
