368 GREENDEX GreenDex GOING GREEN It seems like everyone's going 'green' these days, but how can you know which businesses are actually ecofriendly and which are simply jumping on the eco/sustainable bandwagon? The following attractions, tours, accommodation, eating and drinking choices have been selected by Lonely Planet authors because they demonstrate an active sustainable-tourism policy. Some are involved in conservation or environmental education, and many are owned and operated by local and indigenous operators, thereby maintaining and preserving local identity and culture. Some of the listings below have also been certified by Ecotourism Australia (www.ecotour.org.au), which means they meet high standards of environmental sustainability, business ethics and cultural sensitivity. We want to keep developing our sustainable-tourism content. If you think we've omitted someone who should be listed here, or if you disagree with our choices, email us at talk2us@lonelyplanet.com.au and set us straight for next time.
