Environmentally friendly and ‘green’ holidays aren’t necessarily going to cost vast amounts of money, there are many things you can do without harming the environment, wherever the destination.

Here are a few tips:

- Whenever you book a holiday you can offset carbon emissions either on the website you booked it on, or use a search engine if you booked by other means.

- If hiring a car, chose the most economically friendly option, if not use public transport, bicycles or walk

- Drink tape water if and where possible

- Take spare re-usable bags when you go shopping, this saves using plastic bags

- Buy local products, not only will the local economy benefit, your budget and holiday spending money may also benefit.
