24. Be a Virtual Tourist

Air travel is one of the biggest personal contributors of greenhouse gasses. People seem to be avoiding it more with the economic crisis making “Staycations” more popular, but why not acknowledge the eco-friendly aspects of it? Sure it can be fun to learn more about another culture, and we can do that right at home. Be a virtual tourist at your computer screen. Your computer makes it easy to choose a destination, check out the scenery, find some new traditional recipes to try out, and order some trinkets that you might otherwise have bought as souvenirs.
