Whether you want to get out into nature or are trying your hardest to preserve it along your travels, green travel seems to be on everyone’s mind these days—and that’s a good thing.

The lushness of the Marvelous City may have drawn people to Rio de Janeiro, which makes its debut as a top-10 destination.

Visitors to the blog checked out how to plan a green vacation, proving our members are intelligent, well-traveled, and conscientious.

Getting a boost with a feature in this week’s Picks of the Week newsletter, travelswithkids’ verdant journal from Costa Rica was one of the most popular.

The only thing that didn’t make it so easy to be green was this week’s most popular photo, which was a great white wash. It’s OK though; we’re not jaded by it.
