Use less fossil fuel - Vehicles using petroleum-based fuel contribute to global warming. Sustainable alternatives have been developed and are increasing in use. Travelers sometimes have options; Earth Routes recommends making these choices whenever possible: Travel fewer miles Rent a hybrid or biodiesel car BioBeetle Fly at off-peak times Holidays and school vacations are times when many scheduled flights are full. More demand will lead to more flights being scheduled, while flights on less-popular days or weeks may fly with many empty seats. If you can travel at other-than-peak times you can help to reduce the demand for more flights.
