Say goodbye to winter and hello to spring!  It’s officially spring time, which means Mother Nature is ready for a little rebirth and regrowth.  It won’t be long before bare winter trees sprout healthy green leaves and fragrant seasonal flowers bloom with ease.  The advent of spring is also the perfect time to go green.  The Essex Inn in Tappahannock, Virginia is a certified green inn where guests are encouraged to limit the use of their car and sign up for the “The Essex Inn Green Tappahannock Scavenger Hunt.”  Guests can take a walking tour and enjoy the beauty of the oldest town in Essex County and also have fun looking for earth friendly clues and answers.  The game may involve bringing back a piece of recyclable trash or answering eco-friendly facts about the inn. 

Or try experience spring in the desert and go green at Casa Escondida in Chimayo, New Mexico.  This Santa Fe area bed & breakfast is located near the ancient ruins of Bandelier National Park, Native American pueblos and incredible hot springs.  After a nature friendly day trip, guests can retreat back to the eco-friendly establishment and pick up some green tips or ideas from Casa Escondida.  This B&B strives to promote green living and increase awareness for their guests by applying simple green practices such as redirecting rainwater to nourish trees and flowerbeds or planting native plants that require little water.
