Amelia Island Plantation Villas - Amelia Island, FL

Amelia Island Plantation doesn’t just talk about the three R’s of saving the environment, it practices them.

Try playing a round of golf on one of the certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuaries courses.

Tanque Verde Ranch - Tucson, AZ

Desert animals and plants rest easy at this dude ranch that promotes education through its nature center. Guests can enjoy fishing, and the fish enjoy the catch and release program. The nature center provides an opportunity for adults and children to interact with desert critters while learning about their unique desert environment. Kids have their own counselors and programs to introduce them to the wonders of the Sonoran Desert.

Grand Hyatt Kauai Resort and Spa - Koloa, HI

Who says green can’t be luxurious? Not the Grand Hyatt. This resort has 18,500 square feet of solar paneling and uses the heat generated by its air conditioning system to heat water for all guestrooms, laundry, and outdoor pools. One-hundred percent of green waste gets used for compost and the kitchen’s waste cooking oil is collected and processed into biodiesel fuel.

Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground - Orlando, FL

Fort Wilderness allows guests the opportunity to explore the wilderness without leaving a negative impact. Hike through miles of trails or rent an environmentally friendly Segway Personal Transporter. Bicycles and electric carts allow you to explore longer and farther without the carbon emissions of a car.
