This article talks about cheap (or free!) things you can do that don't harm the environment.
Hike
Bike
Walk
Sit in a park and watch the locals, read, or write in a travel journal
Wander through non-touristy neighborhoods (you can spend days doing this)
Stop at cafes in those neighborhoods
Take public transportation to a random stop and get off and wander around (check with a hostel worker/concierge/local first to make sure the neighborhood is safe)
Visit museums
Browse local shops and businesses
Play pick-up sports with the locals
Visit the local library
Spend time on a university’s campus
Spend time in a university neighborhood - there are often fun and inexpensive bookstores, restaurants, and coffee shops near colleges
Go to a religious service (make sure you are dressed appropriately and know enough about local customs as to not offend anyone)
Picnic
Volunteer
Windsurf, canoe, or kayak
Go for a run before the city is awake
Most of these things are good for you and for the environment!
