Traveling by car or plane can mean so serious greenhouse gas emissions. If you're planning to travel by those means, looking into <a href="http://www.treehugger.com/files/2008/09/edf-launches-carbon-offset-list.php" rel="nofollow">carbon credits</a> - or other methods of reducing emissions elsewhere, like planting a garden or weatherproofing your home - is a great idea. Even better, have a low-carbon adventure using trains, buses, bicycles or a good pair of hiking boots! Finally, this Challenge isn't limited to cross-country vacations - they can be cross-town, or even a homegrown potluck in your own backyard garden. After the challenge, we'll definitely give shout-outs to super-eco-friendly itineraries! Good point, Michael! Traveling by car or plane can mean so serious greenhouse gas emissions.

Or give credit for most carbon-neutral itinerary. Just a thought: maybe you want to suggest a site to offset the carbon load of all this travel. Or give credit for most carbon-neutral itinerary.
