50 Amazing Green Travel Destinations
I love traveling and I’ve been to a lot of cool eco-minded places. Of course I haven’t gotten to go everywhere I want to. I’m always seeing or hearing about new places that look so amazing, and so I usually add them to my mental list of “MUST someday visit” places.
That said, in case you’re looking for a green trip idea, or just somewhere eco-friendly to visit, I decided to compile a list – places I’ve been and places I’d love to visit. As I post about them, I’ll link them here. Eventually we’ll look at each place individually. Some places may seem vague and not a ‘green’ trip exactly at first glance (i.e. Portland, Oregon) but trust me, if it’s on the list, I’ve got my reasons, and will post on it eventually.
IF you’ve got a great idea about a green destination or an eco-trip idea that I missed, feel free to add it in the comments.
