　Booking Online and Saving the Environment When you are looking to book a holiday, it is unlikely that you will think about how green your booking decision is, but it is something that you should think about. By u

　green" we mean the pact on the environment. When looking to book a holiday, you will probably find that you are faced with two

　main decisions. The first is to go into a travel agency, pick up brochures （宣传册）

　read through them and go back with just one and book with the travel agents directly or over the phone. The second is to go onto the Internet The Internet holds many advantages over the travel agencies. The main one is convenience. You can go online to look at holidays at any time of the day. The travel agents, however, are usually very busy at times when people can actually go, i. e. lunch hours or at the weekend. You could use the telephone, but you wouldn * t be able to see the pictures or the details of the holidays, so you would probably be sent a brochure anyway. There are websites on the Internet that make shopping for holiday deals much easier. These websites are known as price comparison websites. They search through lots of different tour operators, and the results are displayed on one page, from which you can choose. Compared with the travel agencies, booking online is greener. The piles of brochures are definitely not green, and the amount of unnecessary paper used can* t be good for the environment. In the days of the Internet, there is really no need for such a large amount of paper to be wasted. So booking online will not only save you time and effort, it will do a little bit towards saving the environment, too! 1. When planning holidays, few people will think about being green. A. True B.
