Tips to make green business trip
Teleconference - Before you decide a business trip is absolutely necessary, check first to see if a teleconference could happen in place of meeting in person. It saves you time and expense while having less environmental impact.
Take the Train or Bus - If you can, take a bus or train to your destination.
Fly Nonstop - When a train isn’t an option, fly nonstop. You reduce your emissions by up to 50% with nonstop travel.
Schedule Trips Back to Back - If you have several different cities to travel to, schedule the trips back to back. While this can get tiring, you will save time and resources by not flying home in between.
Take Public Transportation to Get Around - Once your at your destination, take public transportation to get around. In many cities taking the subway or metro can be faster than a cab inching through traffic.
Share Transportation - If you’re traveling with co-workers, schedule your travel at the same time so that you can share taxi rides or rental cars.

As an eco-conscious traveler their are moments in business where traveling is a must. I use www.EnvironementallyFriendlyHotels.com to find out a hotel's green features all the way down to if the hotel composts! I recently did a search and found out the hotel I wanted to stay in is used recycled materials for all hotel staff's uniforms!
