"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.

Sinopsis

This green guide to the Midwest states offers travellers unusual, fun, and innovative places to visit-all with an environmentally conscious approach. From the National Mississippi River Aquarium in Dubuque, Iowa, to the Heartland Spa (in a former dairy barn!) in Gilman, Illinois, to Target Field (home of major league baseball's Minnesota Twins) in Minneapolis, these destinations are an eclectic mix ranging from low-budget to luxury and from city sites to prairies and the deep North Woods. Some meet LEED standards, recycle and refurbish old buildings, serve locally grown food, operate off the grid, or bring visitors close to wildlife. Intrepid traveller Mary Bergin covers Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, plus a few cool places to visit in Indianapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis, and Nebraska City. Restaurants, lodging, festivals, parks, tours, farms, museums, nature centre's, factories, shops, wilderness areas, retreats, and more are included in this guide, along with stories, interviews, full-colour photos, maps, and an index.. NOTA: El libro no est� en espa�ol, sino en ingl�s.
