Whether it\u2019s a cross-country road trip, an elevated hike in the mountains, or a stay in the crown jewel that is Annapolis, there are endless ways to care for the earth as sustainably-minded travelers. As you explore Annapolis\u2019 endless treasures, here\u2019s a guide to help you make the most of your getaway in an eco-friendly way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stay at the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel, Autograph Collection<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to being a sustainable traveler is choosing an eco-friendly stay that not only delivers comfort, but pursues eco-initiatives in the green space. Annapolis Waterfront Hotel prides itself on using energy-efficient light bulbs, water-saving systems in bathrooms, and discontinuing the use of styrofoam, plastic straws, stirrers, and guest phone books among other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.annapoliswaterfront.com\/experience\/sustainability\"><strong>green initiatives<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Explore the City Sustainably<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best qualities Annapolis offers is the amount of sustainable activities that allow you to explore the city while minimizing your environmental impact. You can take a <a href=\"https:\/\/watermarkjourney.com\/guide-services-walking-tours\/\"><strong>guided walking tour<\/strong><\/a> of the historic district, or <a href=\"https:\/\/chesapeakepaddlesports.com\/\"><strong>rent a paddle board<\/strong><\/a> to explore the breathtaking views of the Chesapeake Bay. Another attraction we recommend guests visit is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.annapolis.org\/contact\/william-paca-garden\/\"><strong>William Paca House and Garden<\/strong><\/a>\u2014a landmark location that celebrates the area\u2019s lush landscape and thriving garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Shop Locally<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for a keepsake to take back home with you from your travels in Annapolis, consider shopping locally. At the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aacofarmersmarket.com\/\"><strong>Anne Arundel County Farmers&#8217; Market<\/strong><\/a>, you can find a variety of vendors that sell organic goods, eco-friendly products, and handmade crafts such as pottery and jewelry. <a href=\"https:\/\/shopcupla.com\/\"><strong>Cupla<\/strong><\/a> is another sustainable favorite as it has a diverse offering of zero-waste kitchen and home items for all your shopping needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Dine Sustainably<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Annapolis is home to some of the best seafood, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatyardbarandgrill.com\/index.php\"><strong>Boatyard Bar &amp; Grill<\/strong><\/a>, which features locally sourced seafood and takes part in eco-friendly practices, has some of the best food on the bay to satisfy your tastebuds. You can also visit <a href=\"https:\/\/preserve-eats.com\/\"><strong>Preserve<\/strong><\/a>, a casual American restaurant that uses sustainable and local products to craft its food dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Transportation Options<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you explore the city\u2019s best offerings and attractions, you can minimize your carbon footprint by choosing <a href=\"https:\/\/accessannapolis.com\/visiting-downtown\/\"><strong>eco-friendly transportation options<\/strong><\/a>. The city offers a free trolley service that operates in the historic district and can fit multiple people to reduce the use of many cars. You can also rent a bike, a Bird scooter, an e-bike, or use a ride-sharing service and select an electric vehicle to get you to your destination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As you explore Annapolis\u2019 endless treasures, here\u2019s a guide to help you make the most of your getaway in an eco-friendly
