The cool environmentally-focused website, Mother Nature Network, featured Charleston as their “Destination of the Week” in late February.

The article plays up the sustainable tourism aspects of Charleston, like green transportation, local and organic served at local restaurants, Charleston’s first soon-to-be green hotel (Holiday Inn Express and Suites), green and eco-enthusiast tours.

The writer remarks:

It is these often-ignored features that make Charleston a good place for a low-impact vacation. The city’s compact size means that sightseeing on foot is easy, the agricultural industry makes locally grown food readily available, and the many eco-adventure opportunities make a multi-dimensional, environmentally centered vacation possible.
