A propos de cet article

"Mary Bergin, intrepid travel writer, has ferreted out unusual, fun, eccentric, and green nooks and crannies throughout the Midwest. The eclectic mix of content includes low-budget to luxury eco-aware projects in rural areas and cities. Bergin examines four catagories of ecotourism: food and drink, lodging and retreats, nature and wildlife, and the old and the new. She selects destinations that meet LEED standards, recycle and refurbish old buildings, serve locally grown food, and operate off the grid. Owners of these businesses make selfless choices and show respect for nature." This book has 220 pages and is profusely illustrated.
