Atlanta, Georgia

Where to stay: Until 2010, when the LEED-certified 1 Hotel opens, the greenest stay is at the Emory Conference Center Hotel (877/339-8727; emoryconferencecenter.com), the city's only Green Seal-designated hotel, with wastewater management and environmentally and socially sensitive purchasing policies.

Where to eat: About 30 miles south of downtown, Serebe, a community based on sustainability, boasts the LEED Silver Blue Eyed Daisy Bakeshop (770/463-8379; blueeyeddaisy.com), which serves bistro cuisine.

How to travel: See the sights on a Segway tour (877/SEG-TOUR; citysegwaytours.com/atlanta). And for a chauffered, low-impact ride around town, try the RS400 Lexus hybrids from Elite Green Car (404/350-8511; elitegreencar.com).

Green activity: Coke went green with its new World of Coca-Cola museum, (800/676-COKE; woccatlanta.com) designed to LEED standards, including construction on a previously developed industrial site and lots of green space.
