A weekend isn't a lot of time, especially for a vacation. To plan an easy eco-friendly weekend mini-vacation, stay local. If you live in a metropolis, chances are there's plenty to do and see. If you live in a metropolis, check out the new wing at the zoo or museum, or head to a part of town you haven't visited in awhile.

If you live in a rural area, head out for an invigorating nature hike, or drive over to the next county. Experiencing even familiar areas with a tourist's attitude frees your mind and spirit every bit as effectively as an out-of-state vacation.

Everyday Eco Travel Tip: Drive Less, Walk MoreJuly 28th 2008 20:27
You might think that eco travel requires you to travel to a faraway land, but there are easy ways to practice the principles of eco-friendly travel in your everyday life. How many of your errands take place within a mile or two of your home? Try walking to complete these errands. If your errands are within three or four miles of your home, try bicycling. It doesn't have to be entirely about the environment--think of your alternate form of transportation as your daily workout.
