Eco-Friendly Traveling in Connecticut

Some people say a travel experience should make an impact on the traveler, not the place.

You can even arrive by public transportation and leave your car at home. Then, once you’re here, you can stay in an environmentally conscious hotel, go on eco-friendly adventures and more.
