Want to save money and the environment? Ithaca B&B's offer great deals to hybrid car drivers

This just in: if you're the type of person who likes to protect the environment (and you have the Toyota Prius to prove it), some good news -- hybrid vehicle drivers can reduce their carbon footprint and save money this spring with free lodging at four eco-friendly bed-and-breakfast hotels in Ithaca, New York. Each of the lodges are offering a free night on stays of two nights or more.

Says Elan Shapiro, owner of Frog's Way bread-and-breakfast at EcoVillage: "At our B&B's, we've made a commitment to sustainable lifestyles and this is a small way we can encourage travelers to do the same. By switching to hybrids, people are making a positive change in the world. A free night of lodging is a simple way for us to say thanks, we share your vision."

The participating lodges are Frog's Way, Climbing Vine Cottage, Turtle Dreams and Wild Goose B&B. The offer is good for stays of two nights or more through Mother's Day, May 10th. Reservations are required.
