Green Travel: 3 Ways To Make Hotel Stays Greener, Not Less Comfortable
by Steve Stillwater | June 15, 2011
Hotels are making strides in reducing waste, energy use, and sustainability. Most major chains have put in place eco-friendly operating policies. Some hotels even offer guests green options such as skipping linen and towel service, with bonuses as an incentive if you do. My favorite is allowing guests to earn meals by generating enough electricity from the exercise bike in the health club.
But as a temporary resident of a hotel, there are things you can do as well to make your stay more eco-friendly and greener. Here are three:

Travel Essentials this Summer
by Paula Gallagher | August 17, 2010
Traveling should be relaxing and enjoyable. Unfortunately, it can also be hard on your body. Recycled air on flights exposes you to cold and flu germs and jet lag can make you lose valuable days of vacation time. And, eating foods that you are not used to can also cause digestive distress. Being prepared before you travel can make the difference between a miserable trip and a memorable one.
Here are some supplements that will make your life a little better while you travel. (more…)
