If you’re headed to a tourist hot-spot at home or on vacation this June, consider taking the bus instead of driving there. More than 15 million fans attend major American sporting events games each year. If only half of them drive to the game, that’s still one massive amount of gas and carbon emissions. Imagine if you add all the amusement parks, museums, zoos, aquariums, fairs and monuments to those sporting events. Holy cow! That’s a heckuva lot of cars! Don’t miss the experience, miss the traffic and the parking instead! The nice thing about touristy venues is that they’re often easily accessible by bus or rail. Hit the net and look up the transit schedule for the city you’re visiting – it’s a cinch to figure out the routes these days. Staying at a hotel? The front desk should be able to help you figure out the bus. Why spend $20 on parking, when a bus ticket is under $2? Save your money for snacks and admission and feel good that you’re enjoying good clean fun while being good and clean to the environment.
