Aye, Go Green On the Green Isle

July 6, 2008

Going to Ireland. A new handbook will help visitors to travel a little greener there. Irish writer Catherine Mack calls it Ecoescape. She writes about 50 ecoescapes around the country, including practical details and a ‘Slow Travel Toolkit’. 

“I wanted to make a guidebook to share the stories of great people who are, quite simply, trying to make a difference,” says Mack. “They are striving to make a living out of Irish tourism, but taking responsibility for the impact it might have locally.”

The slow travel aspect encourages more use of trains, buses, boats, bikes and our very own legs rather than driving cars and flying. Visit Ecoescape.org
