Green travel by car means intelligent and sustainable way of using resources (time and fuel).
First step is to prepare well your travel. Preparing means defining of your route. Choose shortest route, check configuration of landscape. If you have Garmin use Ecoroute functionality. Keep balanced speed without many breaking and speeding up.
Use GPS device, add POI’s or add travel attractions that you want to see from dankuna site. If more cars are using GPS and use traffic avoidance services less CO2 will be produced.
When you are at vacation destination find alternative city transportation (check are they using bio fuel). If you are in good shape you can use bike for sightseeing. More about city sightseeing on bike in another post.
Stop at gas stations and green hotel where they practice green thinking.
I you can purchase hybrid car. Now days they are more then good.

Any comments or suggestions are more then welcome. Happy green travel.
