Tips for a
"Green" Vacation
Keep showers short.
Turn off the water while you're brushing your teeth.
When you leave the room, turn off the air conditioning, heat, television,
lights or any other electric devices.
Reuse your sheets and towels instead of having them changed every day.
Bring your own toiletries and drinking cup rather than using the prepackaged
ones provided.
Express your appreciation to the hotel for any eco-friendly programs it
currently offers -- or if it doesn't, encourage the management to go green in
the future.
For more tips as well as a wealth of other information for "Going Green" on
your next vacation, please visit the
