| Ubud’s Organic Pioneer | The sun is setting over Ubud’s rice paddies, but I’m simply incapable of walking past a hand-painted farm sign proclaiming “organic” without stopping to investigate. Bali’s energy, as I’ve come to appreciate, opens doors to magical experiences. This mystical May evening proves to be no exception—in this case, with the [...]

| Healthy, Organic Nepal | I won’t go into all the reasons that seeking out organic food while traveling—and even paying a premium for it—is totally worth it. But here are three. Reason #1: your body’s natural defenses are already on high alert, overburdened with the inevitable stresses and assaults that come with foreign territory—so [...]

| 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 [...]

| 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 year-round [...]

| Lake Chapala Paraíso | The air in early June is brittle, hot and dusty, but the shrill serenade of the rainbirds heralds the change that’s to come. Rainbirds are not birds at all, actually, but the local name for thousands of huge cicada-like insects that faithfully appear each year at this time, brilliant green to satisfy the Mexican love of [...]

| Washington Slept Here | The historic towns, sprawling farmlands and leafy forests of the eastern side of immense Chesapeake Bay in Maryland are universally referred to hereabouts as, simply, the Eastern Shore. When Captain John Smith first sailed along this shore in 1608, he noted that it was “fit for harbors and habitations.” The [...]
| Sleeping, Doing, Eating| The choice is tough in America’s greenest city. But here are our top picks, some inevitable and some not, for an unforgettably green visit to San Francisco. 1. Orchard Garden Hotel. San Francisco’s eco-stylish “green boutique hotel,”nestled in the heart of the City by the Bay, was the first in California [...]

| A Powerful Future? | How green is Lanai? The question might better be asked, Will this tiny Hawaiian island soon become the greenest of them all? Just how, exactly, says much about Lanai’s past, present and future. For this is a fiefdom. Except for a few parcels of land granted by the former Hawaiian [...]

| Time Forgot Isle | Molokai’s best hope for a green future lies in its steadfast desire to be left alone. It calls itself Hawaii’s most natural island. And, amazingly, it does still offer the distinctly non-21st century pleasures of no traffic and no traffic lights. Even though bustling Maui is but 8 miles away, [...]
