Take a Green Vacation at Acadia National Park
Acadia and Bar Harbor are a green ecotourist destination! That’s right… if you are the environmentally conscious type — and many of us are these days, then an Acadia National Park vacation just might be the right choice for you. There are many examples of how “green” the area is these days…
- Bar Harbor hosted the first national conference on ecotourism in 2005.
- The Island Explorer shuttle bus line helps reduce traffic and pollution in the Park and surrounding areas by using clean, propane-powered buses.
- The College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor was the named greenest college in the US in 2007.
- Many restaurants in this area use locally grown produce, locally caught seafood, and organic foods.
- Recycling is big, even in public areas too.
So, as you can see… it’s a very green vacation destination! To learn more about vacationing in Acadia National Park, visit Discover-Acadia.com.
