Traveling the Green Way

Eco Hotels of the World

by Sonya on November 17th, 2008

 Are you “an idle Eco-warrior, a pale-green Green, wracked with guilt as holidays approach and you’re tempted by a flight to north Africa or a spa treatment in Czechoslovakia”?  That’s the question asked by Eco Hotels of the World , a free online guide showcasing the most environmentally-friendly hotels in the world.

The independent, online UK guide has published the book Eco Hotels of the World.   In the book, the best eco hotels in the world have been rated from one to five Green Stars.  The hotels range from ones in safari parks to tiny islands to beaches in Alaska.

“If you decide to stay in a desert, shower in a bucket and eat your food by the light of a kerosene lamp under the stars, your conscience can be positively crystalline,” says Eco Hotels of the World.

“But if you can’t live without fluffy towels, massage, and proper marmalade, then there is hope even for you.  Because the hotel that provides both the towels, and the marmalade, composts the orange-pips, eco-cleans the fluffy towels, and recycles its jamjars.”
