Enjoy camping but prefer to hang on to a few home comforts on your travels? Here's some good news: caravanning is green! Or at least it can be, if you take care to keep your emissions as low as possible. I found a great site called Green Caravanning, which helps you plan your trip for maximum energy-efficiency.
The site lets you enter your size of car and caravan and journey details to calculate an approximation of your C02 emissions, then offers advice on how to make the trip greener. There's also a handy comparison tool, which you can use to work out if going by plane or train would be a greener option for the trip you're planning, and a quick play with the tool shows that touring caravan journeys appear to be relatively green in many instances. Let's hear it for the caravan!
People often think that caravanning is pretty bad for the environment, big cars pulling bigger caravans! But when you compare it to going abroad by place the C02 levels are insignificant. Thanks for the link to Green Caravanning, very interesting site.
Great web site, the internet needs more quality sites like this.
