Challenge Yourself for: 90 days

Planning a trip to a far-flung destination this summer? If the size of your carbon footprint is important to you, you may want to consider a vacation that doesn’t include air travel, which is notorious for its high CO2 emissions.

If you can’t avoid air travel, consider purchasing carbon offsets, (which fund green projects) to neutralize the effects of your trip. Next time you plan a holiday, challenge yourself to plan your trip as mindfully as you live.

(When logging progress for this challenge, only log as many days as you participated the activity within the 90-day time frame.)

Although I initially flew to New Orleans, I became ill and could not return on the plane. I decided to take the train and it was the best decision I could have made. The trip was a wonderful respite from the stress of everyday craziness and gave me a chance to meet people from all over the world. To travel this way is a true commitment and challenge because of time and potential $$$, but I highly recommned it.

My destinations for the year involve biking and driving. I plan to explore my state.
