Yesterday, we mentioned [www.sundancechannel.com] some of the considerations that go into taking that summer vacation and making it a little (or a lot) greener, but how can you keep it green once you arrive? We dug through the archives of TreeHugger and came up with a few resources, accessories and tips for green ideas that you can use when you get off the train, plane or automobile that got you were you’re going.

1) If hitting the trail and camping is your idea of the perfect getaway, check out the Eco-Camp Kit [www.treehugger.com] and Millets outdoor store [www.treehugger.com] to stock up on some of the eco-gear you’ll need.
2) If you see the beach in your future when gazing into your vacation crystal ball, Patagonia’s wetsuits [www.treehugger.com] are way greener than conventional (usually all petroleum-based) alternatives.
3) For more high-tech gadgetry, check out a round-up of solar chargers [www.treehugger.com] to keep your phone, iPod, PDA and more charged up if you’re in between reliable access to the grid.
4) Similarly, TreeHugger’s look at solar-powered bags [www.treehugger.com] can help keep you powered up and offers the added bonus of storage and a way to haul your stuff.
5) Hand-cranked, or dynamo powered, gadgets are a great way to keep the power pumping without the benefit of solar or grid power. Check out this flashlight [www.treehugger.com], radio [www.treehugger.com] and even a blender [www.treehugger.com]; just because you’re on the road doesn’t mean you have to give up your favorite cool blended beverage…
