The green way to Vancouver from London is by boat to New York, Amtrak to Toronto, and via rail to Vancouver. On the way back repeat or boat over to China to take the Trans-Siberian home.

This is not for the faint of heart, but think of the memories. Also, if you are really green, why would you fly?

I took the ferry to Sweden and back again, and I think that flying to a place for a "green" vacation is a contradiction in terms. Obviously crossing the Atlantic or Pacific requires a flight, but to really be kind to the planet, travelling surface is the way to go. If you have to fly, you should make sure that you are staying for a long time. Hopping on a plane for a week holiday is about as ungreen as it gets.

You can take the ferry in Newcastle and come back via Harwich for a nice round trip;
