| Greening the Games | I’m curious. Of the nearly one million visitors anticipated in London for the summer 2012 Olympics, how many will insist on going green? And what does the epicenter of Englishness have waiting to greet the green traveler? As luck would have it, I’m able to schedule a brief London layover […]

| Agrarian Base Camp | I am in search of some of Slovenia’s best eco-tourist farms, and my way is up, up, up, on mountain roads that prove an adventure in themselves. Driving is certainly not the greenest way to go. I pass plenty of bicycle riders pedaling their way up these same impossibly steep […]

| Central Europe’s Eco-treasure | Church bells herald my arrival at the Bohinj Park Hotel, the starting point of my green tour of Slovenia. That’s not unusual; in this predominantly Catholic country, ornate church steeples overlook almost every town and village. What’s jarring is walking into the lobby of a five-star, 102-room luxury hotel in […]

| 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 […]
