| His Green Majesty | Everywhere you go in Thailand, there he is. Shrines with his portrait, towering images draped in banners and floral arrangements, are seemingly omnipresent. Oddly, in this country sometimes called the Land of Smiles, he is seldom seen with a smile on his royal face. But Thailand reveres him. He is […]

| The North Shore | This is more like it. At first glance, Maui seems a bit of a puzzler for the green traveler. It’s been too successfully marketed as a paradise of luxury resorts and world-class golf, neither of which have historically fostered much in the way of earth friendliness.

| A Green Icon | Kudos to the National Park Service. They’ve succeeded (with the help of other green-spirited souls) in recycling one of the San Francisco Bay Area‘s iconic military reservations into one of the region’s brightest green gems.

| Smell French Fries? | He’s a soft-spoken vegetarian who, every day, feeds a herd of feral island cats. Shaun Stenshol doesn’t strike you as an eco-warrior. But don’t be fooled by the shy smile. This guy means business. As a Greenpeace activist, he once tried to stop a test of a nuclear bomb by […]

| Hail the Queen | Renée Loux is a green marvel. If you hit the glorious sugar-sand beaches of south Kihei, on Maui, you’re not far from the solar-powered beach house she shares with Shep Gordon, who’s a marvel of a different sort (long-time manager of Alice Cooper—who was first to hail Renée as the […]

| NYC … LA … SF? | It’s definitely Waikiki outside. And this is Hotel Renew, Honolulu’s first upscale boutique hotel with a hip, eco vibe. No tiki torches here. Instead you find a lobby space of limestone and sand-blasted oak. And before you can check out the sleek lobby lounge, you’re handed a naturally […]
