| Greening On A Farm | To the outside world, the state of Karnataka is best known for its capital city of Bangalore, the high-tech hub of India where you have probably connected by phone or chat with an eager soul who wants to offer you excellent service on that problem with your laptop or [...]

| Pretty In Green | Big Sur. The greatest meeting of the land and sea in the world. The American poet Robinson Jeffers said that. Poets and writers and thinkers have had a lot to say about Big Sur over the years, because it’s that kind of place. It inspires. But it also bedevils, defies [...]

| Eat, Sleep Green |   How cool! Awaiting us is what promises to be a perfect night in Green Wine Country: a “green” meal, a “green” sleep. At Vineyards Inn, the locally acclaimed organic tapas restaurant in Kenwood, dinner timing has just been confirmed, a key to our accommodations and instructions on how to operate [...]

| Garden Isle Green | Sometimes, a great notion: Even on a tropical island paradise like Kauai, we’re in the mood for the unique, the more personal, the less expected. We seek an intimate experience unattainable at a big, showy resort. From the lush north coast with its hidden bracelets of beach to the sunny [...]

| A Mendo Wowie | There’s no mistaking the green of Mendocino. We don’t mean the color, of course, though the moods of this Northern California coastline transform ordinary chlorophyll into a pulsating emerald-on-acid. No, we mean our kind of green.

| Green Wine Country | Sonoma, in northern California wine country, is America’s first official Slow City. Bored teenagers here knew that long ago. They call it “Slow-noma.”  But the Slow City designation is still something special—recognition for Sonoma’s sustainability practices and its unhurried pace. We wish we could linger longer in the historic town [...]

| Cape Cod Green | We knew that “The Vineyard” was a favored playground for presidents, politicos and the privileged class, but never considered it to be a green travel destination. That is, until we arrived “on-island” and started sleuthing. Maybe we should have guessed. Seven miles from the closest mainland shoreline, the 15 thousand [...]

| Greening in Roma | They say Rome is an old city that never gets old. We never tire of it. Long ago we fell under the thrall of its simple classics of cuisine like cacio e pepi, an irresistible Roman dish that consists of only 3 ingredients. Of its piazzas, ostentatiously grand or all [...]

| Mexico’s Greenest City? | We are frankly amazed. It quickly dawns on us that, arguably, San Miguel de Allende could be the greenest city in all Mexico. On a per capita basis, this achingly lovely, authentically historic place (population 130 thousand) eclipses even the cosmopolitan capitol of Mexico City, whose huge heartbeat nourishes many [...]
