Comments on: Does living “green” at home really effect how people travel? http://www.terracurve.com/2009/11/01/does-living-green-at-home-really-effect-how-people-travel/ Sat, 13 Mar 2010 12:11:02 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: greentravelhub http://www.terracurve.com/2009/11/01/does-living-green-at-home-really-effect-how-people-travel/comment-page-1/#comment-969 greentravelhub Mon, 02 Nov 2009 15:14:23 +0000 http://www.terracurve.com/?p=5833#comment-969 When we are traveling, we sometimes fall into the trap of being more wasteful because we aren't paying for it. A good example is leaving lights and the TV on when you leave a hotel room. Very few people would do this at home, but since they aren't paying for an electricity bill, they are less concerned about it. I find it interesting that people who go the extra mile to be green at home doesn't necessarily translate into being green while traveling, but it does not surprise me. I think we just need to be mindful of our environmental footprint in all facets of our lives, not just at home.
