Tote That!:

Need a reason to use a reusable tote or bottle? You won't be contributing to an island, or gyre, of plastic garbage floating in the Pacific Ocean that weighs near 3.5 million tons and is twice the size of Texas. Plastic never decomposes, choking marine life and leaching chemicals into the ecosystem.

Why It's Good:

You can book a trip on expedia.com to see some of the 830 special places that have been deemed World Heritage sites (places having value for all mankind) through a convention coordinated by the UN and UNESCO. These include many national parks in the US and Canada like Yellowstone, Banff, and the Everglades; cultural attractions such as Tikal, Machu Picchu, and Versailles; important biosphere preserves like Africa's Serengeti and Australia's Great Barrier Reef; and places of archaeological, historical, or evolutionary significance including the cave paintings of Lascaux, and the Galapagos Islands.

Why It's Green:

If you select a package through one of Expedia's websites or travel services that includes a sightseeing tour or other activity at a World Heritage site, Expedia will donate the profits from designated trips to support locally based tourism enterprises, which will help increase the economic well-being of their people through sustainable tourism.
