The Lodge at Sun Ranch in Cameron, Mont., known for allowing the hunting of free-range organic elk, was named in Outside Magazine’s March issue as one of the US’s “best new eco-getaways.â€
The magazine says the lodge plants 10 trees in the Amazon for every guest.
Others cited as among the best:
- The new Proximity Hotel in Greensboro, N.C. has solar panels that heat 60% of the hotel’s water, and its elevator captures electricity produced by the brakes as the car descends.
- The Orchard Garden Hotel in San Francisco, which was built from concrete made from fly ash, a byproduct of coal power plants, with key cards that turn off the heat when you leave the room.
- The Gaia Napa Valley Hotel and Spa, said to be the only LEED gold-certified hotel in the U.S., where a copy of Al Gore’s eco-manifest An Inconvenient Truth is kept in every room along with the Holy Bible and a Buddhist bible.
