One easy way for people to reduce their carbon footprint for their travels is to travel by train. According to the Environmental Defense Fund, traveling by rail produces nearly half the global warming pollution as compared to flying. In addition, traveling by train takes the traveler through some of the most scenic parts of the countryside. By making the trip itself a part of the vacation most travelers can get a lot more out of their holiday when traveling by train.
