The Green Files > Take an Off-Grid Vacation in Mexico

 [sustainablog] Kevin Humphrey at Unplugged Living has started a new feature called Off-the-Grid Vacations which focuses on "...actual resorts, hotels, etc that are completely energy self-sufficient." The first subject, Mexico's Hotelito Desconocido, is now officially on my list of "dream vacations": ”˜Hotelito”˜ generates it own power via solar means and that’s only used for indispensable resort needs like hot water and refrigeration. At night, the rooms and restaurant are lit by hundreds of candles and luminaries light the pathways that meander throughout the property.
