Too often green vacation tips skip over the emissions generated from travel to the destination, so it's great to see it as the first tip here. To find out exactly how much better that is, go to Trip Footprint. Inspired by the UCS report, "Getting there Greener", we created a website that calculates the carbon impact of your mode of travel. http://www.tripfootprint.com/ barnali 2009-06-22T21:43:53Z Christopher Pyle comment-7428 2009-05-11T05:58:13Z 2009-05-11T05:58:13Z Hi Jenn - I'm one of the kinder commercial companies to Friends of the River. I grew up across the street from the same campground FOR uses. In fact, we all use the same campsite! This season I donated my van and time to them for the guide training. It's difficult, because of the politics and FEEs on the South Fork, to mix commercial and non-profit. There are things I can do they cannot and vice versa.

(They offer summer white water rafting programs with an emphasis on river appreciation and conservation.)
