Cut down on carbon emissions and rediscover the joys of your own community, instead of jet-setting off into the distance at the first sign of a holiday.
More than 38 million Americans planned to travel 50 miles or more on a recent three-day holiday weekend, and 84 percent planned to travel by car, according to AAA's annual survey.

Time off is also a great time to get outside.
