The Honeywell-operated aircraft touched down safely in Paris on a 50/50 blend of Honeywell Green Jet Fuel and petroleum-based jet fuel powering one of the aircraft’s engines. The biofuel is derived from camelina, a […]

| 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. And fellow green travelers, here in Mendo you just let out a big sigh […]

| Beach House Biodynamic | Spring rains have only recently paused on the morning we veer westward, leaving Highway 101 and heading into the feminine undulations of the Central Coast of California. Suddenly it’s vineyards, ranches and roller-coaster hills of a green so vivid against a sky so boldly blue it makes us positively giddy. […]

| Fundación En Via | Giving back is totally, totally green. As a responsible green traveler, contributing to a more healthy future for local—especially indigenous—communities is as important as finding that great green hotel or restaurant. After all, what’s more soul-satisfying than helping impoverished kids get crisp new school uniforms, or their grandparents getting their […]

| 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 […]

| 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 […]

| Shades of Green | Green has many meanings on this island of drama and history in the eastern Mediterranean. Cypriots probably identify the word first with their infamous Green Line, which has separated them into mutually wary Greek and Turkish enclaves since 1974. Arriving in early spring, as we did, the absolutely stunning greens […]

| Green Garden Isle | Think of the eco-impact these mega-properties have—nowhere else on Kauai’s fragile island environment comes close to matching the sheer scale of their consumption and waste, or the potential for contamination of the land and sea and air they touch. Owned or managed by big corporations from somewhere far away, they […]
