Sustainable Travel & Study Abroad


Do you like to travel? Are you planning on studying abroad?

If so, be sure to check out our NEW Sustainable Travel guide! It includes helpful tips and resources for "greening" your travels. You can pick up a FREE copy at the Study Abroad Fair tomorrow (11-4 on Friday, January 23 in the Student Union Great Hall) or download it here:

If you are planning on study abroad, then you should definitely also enroll in the Green Passport program. The program is designed to promote socially and environmentally conscious behavior for study abroad students. Learn more at:

Lastly, there is also some great sustainable travel info on "Endangered Places" at the following non-UNC blog:

So where are you going? And how will you keep it sustainable?
