Eco Travel Forum Threads for the week of November 13, 2006

Check out these topics currently being discussed on the Eco Travel Forum at BootsnAll:

• Those of us with the travel bug and a conscience don’t want to stop traveling… We just want to do it more responsibly. Seton wonders if hitch-hiking is the way to go – the folks who pick you up are already going where you want to go, right? Do the benefits outweigh the risks?
• Do you know how big your footprint is? No, I’m not talking about the size of your shoe. You can find out the size of your ecological footprint on the site listed in this thread, and share the results there, too.
• Lost76 asks, “Do you feel responsible for the pollution generated when you travel?” More important than simply feeling guilt, however, is what to do about it! So what do you do to offset your impact on the ecosystem?
