On the Greener Road

Be as green as you can be!

While the idea of "green" vacations has attracted recent attention, most information focuses on what to do when you get to your destination, not on how to get there. No definitive source has been available to guide travelers toward the transportation option—train, plane, automobile, or motor coach (a.k.a. bus)—that will produce the least global warming pollution during a particular vacation. Until now.

In Getting There Greener, the Union of Concerned Scientists presents the first comprehensive analysis—peer-reviewed by experts—of the highest-carbon and lowest-carbon options for vacation travel.

Getting There Greener can help identify the transportation option—train, plane, automobile, or motor coach (a.k.a. bus)—that will produce the least global warming pollution when we travel. We may find that we not only help save the planet, we may save some money.

Whether your travels take you to the Peacemaking Conference at the Big Tent or Embracing God's Call to Be Green or Climate of Fear, Climate of Hope or in some other direction, consider the possibilities for getting there greener.
