Just because you’re taking a break from everyday life doesn’t mean you should forget the environment!

will double in as little as ten years.

So what can we do? Well many very clever men including the

environmental advisor to President Bush believe that the answer can be found in

technology. The reason why environmental impact of planes in particular is

seas, try to make one long trip a year, instead of multiple short ones, and if

you can skip the plane altogether and take perhaps a train instead it would

also be one small step to helping the planet even though it may take a little

longer. But think of all the reading you could get done!�
