I thought I'd share some interesting and environmentally friendly travel news that I first heard about from a friend of mine who hosts a blog devoted to understanding sustainable living. It's called Moving Like Water. In this case, he writes about two encouraging developments in the travel industry: an airline investigating the use of bio fuel and a hotel planning to use power from the wind.

The first entry talks about Virgin Atlantic Airways' test using a five percent bio fuel mixture in a Boeing 747. Read  A Jet With Biofuel.

Sofitel Hotels makes a bold statement and announces its intention of buying electricity produced from wind power for all its properties. Read Sofitel Hotels: Moving to Wind Power.
