Where to stay: Along with spectacular views of natural blue Pacific and Diamond Head, the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani (866/716-8109; princess-kaiulani.com) showed its eco-commitment with heat pumps and exchangers to recover waste heat for hot water (which saves 50% in gas usage), as well as low-flow toilets.

Where to eat: At the popular American bistro restaurants Town (808/735-5900) and the newer Downtown (808/536-5900), owner Ed Kenney composts with a worm bin, then uses the fertilizer in the herb garden outside of Town and on the greenery outside of Downtown.

How to travel: Rent from Segway of Hawaii (808/941-3151; segwayofhawaii.com for some environmentally friendly touring transportation.

Green activity: On the Hina Adventures eco-tour (888/933-HINA; hinaadventures.com), two native Oahu women lead hiking and driving adventures that focus on the local cultural heritage, sacred sites, and the fragile environment.
