I’ve posted before regarding Virgin Atlantic Airlines offering their passengers to offset their carbon footprint while flying on one of the enormous planes. But another travel-related company is offering its customers to opportunity to make their entire trip “green.”
When you book through Travelocity’s “Travel for Good” website, you can help the environment. One of the ways the website offers is to offset your carbon footprint, but it also offers “Volunteer Vacations.” NBC News’s Scott Gordon sat down with Travelocity’s Genevieve Shaw Brown:
“They are just offered in San Francisco and New Orleans, and it’s basically just spending one day of your trip volunteering and doing something good along the way.”
Travelocity is also getting some big music support from The Dave Matthews Band. The band has partnered with Travelocity allowing the travel website to setup a booth in the “eco-village” at all of the band’s 2008 North American Summer Tour stops. At these booths, concert-goers can learn about Travelocity’s efforts in keeping the earth clean as well as other activities people can participate in to do their part for Mother Earth.
