6 302 GREENDEX GreenDex It seems like almost everyone in California is going green these days. But how can you know which businesses really are ecofriendly, and which are simply jumping on the greenwashing bandwagon? We ve done our homework. All of these sights, attractions, activities, tour operators, outdoor outfitters, nonprofit organizations, festivals, restaurants, coffeehouses, shops, lodgings and transportation providers have been hand-picked by our authors for acting in harmony with sustainable tourism goals. Some top picks are involved in environmental education, conservation and cleanup. Others are locally owned and operated, helping to preserve California s homegrown arts and cultural identities, especially that of Native Americans. We want to keep developing our sustainable tourism content. If you think we ve omitted somewhere that should be listed here, or if you disagree with our choices, us at and set us straight for next time.
