However 'green' you think you are, you've got to admit that 'the travel thing' is where most of us fail miserably. On the one hand, we're told that our flights and cruises are responsible for as much as a quarter of the world's pollution; on the other, we know only too well that the mad pace of modern life leaves us all in need of a break every so often, and who wants to deny themself the pleasure of discovering new and exciting places?
The Green Travel Guide was written with the dilemmas faced by eco-conscious travellers, and offers helpful suggestions on how to reduce your holiday footprint as much as possible, focusing in particular on the issues many people simply aren't clued-up on, such as "is it better to cross the Channel by train or ferry?"

The guide also suggests loads of brilliant green travel ideas at home, in Europe and further afield, such as enjoying wildlife (at the wetlands centre in Barnes, London or spotting eagles, seals, dolphins and monsters at Loch Ness), going "glamping" (glamorous camping) - sitting around wood burners in yurts in Herefordshire or even creating your own 'holiday from home' by transforming your lawn into a taste of the desert with an authentic tent, sumptuous carpets, drapes, lanterns and a hookah pipe! Sounds like another world to me...
