Where to stay: Classic combines with green at the Lenox hotel (800/225-7676). Besides the stately high ceilings adorned with brass chandeliers, the hotel uses state-of-the-art insulated windows, and the low-VOC paints offer cleaner indoor air quality.
Where to eat: Romance isn't all that's going on at the New England-inspired Fireplace (617/975-1900); green initiatives like banning Polystyrene Foam (Styrofoam) and a comprehensive recycling program make it a green option as well.
How to travel: Get to and from Logan airport with PlanetTran (888/PLNT-TRN), an auto service that utilizes fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles exclusively.
Green activity: Boston Harbor Islands recently installed a photovoltaic solar electric system on the Spectacle Island Visitor Center (617/223-8666). And check in with the Boston CVB (888/SEE-BOSTON) for details on its Green Visitor Program.
