Travelling the world opens your eyes to the importance of protecting it. We're not interested in tokenism and greenwash, but we're all in favour of authentic, inventive initiatives that have a real positive impact on the natural world.

It might be as simple as rainwater recycling in New York or as technical as ocean-cooled air-conditioning in Tahiti, but all of our favourite eco hotels have the same planet-friendly ethos at their heart. And they've usually ditched the plastic, too.
