Ecotourism in Vermont

With Earth Week upon us, and the price of gas going through the roof, you might be thinking of an earth friendly way to take a vacation this year.   One way to do this is to try ecotourism in Vermont.   I recently heard a report on Vermont Public Radio about the Chester Inn Association’s efforts to go green.   A number of inns in Chester have made the switch to be certified as green hotels by the state of Vermont.   By staying at a green inn, you will make less of an impact on the environment.   One really nice benefit of staying in one of the Chester Innkeepers Association’s inns is that they have pooled their efforts together to provide a shuttle for their guests.   Once you arrive at an inn, you can leave your car parked and take the environmentally friendly shuttle to the scenic sights around Chester.   If you want to go entirely car free, you can take the Amtrak train to the town of Bellows Falls and the association’s shuttle will pick up at the train station.   So save some gas and save their environment by taking a green vacation to the Green Mountain State.
