This book is not out yet, but I have heard great things about it. Here is the product description from Amazon:
Green Travel is the must-have guide to eco-lodges & green hotels around the world. Featuring 100 clean, green accommodations that are not only environmentally friendly, but work to support local communities as well, Choosing Eco-Travel celebrates the growing availability of green travel experiences. It also tackles some the more difficult issues that ethical travelers’ face--- questions about poverty, the politics of boycotting certain destinations, and the environmental impact of travel.
Divided into six chapters (North America & the Caribbean, Central & South America, Europe, Africa & the Middle East, Asia and Australasia), the book includes:
·100 independent reviews of green accommodations that have a minimum impact on the environment and benefit the local community in measurable ways.
·A full description of the green credentials of each hotel and lodge
·A range of choices from around the world: budget beds to luxury accommodations, solar-powered yurt camps to eco-chic city hotels.
·First-hand accounts of green travel experiences on each continent — from bear-watching in Alaska to wine and cheese trails in Britain
·Ethical travel dilemmas that tap into the key issues facing the responsible traveler
·Practical information about the greenest ways to get to your destination, social and environmental ratings for each listing, the best time to visit, and room rates.
·Clear locator maps and full-color images throughout
