The consensus on the question I posted before seems to be that it's okay to encourage travel, but that we need to encourage traveling BETTER, whether that means encouraging choosing trains over planes, taking longer trips, seeing things in a different way, etc.
My question now is HOW? How do I as a content creator do that? I mean, just lecturing people about sustainability or whatever isn't going to help. I'd love some PRACTICAL ideas on how to encourage better travel.
So far I'm trying - not always succeeding - to avoid writing about the places that are very popular and instead focusing on lesser-traveled places. I'm avoiding big general listicles and instead trying to write about much narrower topics. As much as possible, I'm traveling by train or bus rather than plane and that'll come through when I write about a place. Any other suggestions?

We all know how hard and wet our winter can be in Vancouver. Which cultural activities would get you out of the house to enjoy with friends and family?
Perhaps kick things off with some of your suggestions?
Vancouver has an amazing number of art galleries that are mostly free to go in and enjoy all sorts of art. The art galleries are mostly in the same area of town, which helps enjoy what I call "Art Gallery Hop".
I find signing up for an indoor sport (volleyball, swimming, whatever you like) to be a great way to enjoy winter with friends and family or even just alone. Of course outdoor sports are great too (cross-country skiing, etc) though they are more dependent on the caprice of the weather.
