  Does traveling green necessarily mean we have to pay more?Nowadays as eco-tourism has become a new trend, travelers have started debating the seemingly high costs of such tourism.“I vote for green travel, but if it's more expensive that way, then I would probably reconsider it.”Such was the concern voiced by many individual travelers and international leaders at this year's Copenhagen Climate Summit.If you want to take an eco-trip and avoid overspending, here are some tips that we recommend.

  Print out maps and information before setting off.Set aside those expensive and heavy guidebooks and use online resources to plan and book your trip.Only when necessary, print out maps and other materials at home on recycled paper.

  Pack lightly.Make a packing list, edit it several times, and cross off everything you don't absolutely need.By reducing the weight of their luggage, travelers can significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions.

  Use Solar-powered chargers.Use solar-powered chargers for your camera, cell phone and music player.Solar-powered chargers can reduce carbon emissions and free you from electrical plugs.

  Eat local.Visit a local farmer's market, shop at a locally owned grocery store and qhoose locally owned restaurants that buy local food.Locally produced food is a tastier and better option.Buy handicrafts.Try to support the local people.You can do so by buying locally made eco-friendly handicrafts.Never buy any animal products or anything that may be harmful to the environment.

  Change clothes less often.Take some pure cotton and quick-dry clothes on your trip.Clothing that dries quickly makes life easier.If you arent into doing laundry too often, take some older clothing that you are almost ready to throw away, and then you can lighten your luggage when you go home by tossing them out.

  Use greener methods of transportation.Use alternative modes of transportation as much as possible.For example, you can choose to travel on foot or by bicycle rather than by taking a taxi or driving yourself.These options are the best low-carbon ways to travel and you don't have to pay more for your environmental guilt.
