Choosing a Holiday Destination
Submitted by Frank on Thu, 12/03/2009 - 23:05.From a green perspective there are lots of things to think about when choosing your destination, in addition to your own personal requirements like sun, sand and s-s-s-so on.

If you're going abroad, what is the political situation in the country? Is it ethically and morally acceptable to you? For example, what is the human rights record of the country?

how can you travel to the country? Do you have to fly, or can you drive or better still take a train?
Cut Down on Unnecessary Travelling

Travel broadens the mind. We wouldn’t want to suggest that it is not a good thing to travel, but some travel is unnecessary. Here are a few ways to reduce the amount of travelling you do:
-
use videoconference links to meet with remote work colleagues
-
take your holidays closer to home
-
shop on-line and get goods delivered to your house
-
if you need to “pop out for something” accumulate the trips until you have 3 or 4 errands to do in one go
-
live closer to your workplace
-
work from home, at least part of the time
