Sugar in Laptop, Compassionate Travel, Expedia Coupons, and other links

by Elizabeth

It’s been an interesting week — I managed to dump sugar (about 3 cups of it) all over my MacBook last weekend. Luckily Apple vacuumed it out for me, but I’m still holding my breath.

A few links from around the web:

Nomadic Matt has put together an ebook about how to make money with your travel blog.

There’s a new travel community out there called Trourist. If you’re interested you can signup with the invite code “gogreentravelgreen“.

The Responsible Tourism Awards is currently taking nominations. You must nominate by June 15 for categories like best destination, tour operator, personal contribution and more. (They have yet to have a “best green travel blog” category…)

The World Society for the Protection of Animals has recently launched a Web site, www.CompassionateTravel.org, that seeks to educate travelers on way to make their trips more compassionate.

We’ve written a lot about BPA (including in our healthy water bottles post and our Klean Kanteen stainless steel water bottle review), so I thought this article in the Washington Post about lobbying to “protect BPA” was particularly interesting.

Expedia has a new coupon out and it seems worth passing along: Use your MasterCard to book select a hotel or vacation package and get $300 in coupons for future travel. It expires 6/30/09

And the New York Times has a piece up today asking: Are Discount Airlines Greener?
