Do you really need a car? Consider car-sharing on campus, or if you live or work in an urban center that has adequate public transportation. Self-service, on-demand cars from companies like Zipcar are available in 23 U.S. cities and dozens of college campuses. It provides the convenience of having a car when necessary without denting the checkbook and the environment by owning a car.
Research your trips online. Print out only the pages or maps you'll actually need. Close to 1 million guidebooks are printed annually, but just 18 percent get recycled. Map paper is particularly difficult to recycle because of the ink used. With smartphones and car navigation devices, you really never need to purchase a map again.
