The Bite
If you gotta ask, we guess you haven't been reading this week's Bites. But wait, there's more! Before you board your plane, train, automobile, hot-air balloon, or camel this summer, check out our five fave travel tips - ones you might've missed the first time around.The Benefits
- Worldwide eco-conscientiousness. Example: If 10,000 Biters opt for a Prius rental for a 200-mile trip, we'll keep the weight of 760 Priuses in CO2 from entering the atmosphere.
- Air-, land-, and sea-worthy savings. Swapping places with another vacationing family, for instance, helps ease high hotel costs.
- Being prepped on any continent. Having a green first aid kit can be a life-saver, especially if you forgot to learn the Urdu word for bandage.

Biter Comments...
I've noticed that many of the big travel guide companies are now offering e-guides, so you can look up what you want on your mobile and/or print out what you like. Nice, convenient, and green!
In a similar fashion, my colleague Elissa and I have created a travel e-guide called Evolution Through Vacation. It helps you transform vacations into powerful, personal growth experiences. Come visit us over at www.evolutionthroughvacation.com and let us know what you think.
Living mindfully, whether you're on vacation or not, is better for the planet.
yes when I change my sheet and towels I feel really good, clean one give clean motion.
