Hey! Sorry I didn't post this earlier, but I have some awesome and environmentally friendly vacations for all you viewers in Asia! (or anywhere else). This "list" is about three places I went myself last summer, so apologies for it being so short. Please feel free to comment some of your favorite green vacations!
1. Side by Side Organic Farm (Bali, Indonesia)
We only stayed here for a night, but I really wish it was longer! The main mission of this village-run farm is to show people that food can be grown for a large amount of people without the use of fertilizers or pesticides. This is great because chemical pesticides can kill helpful bugs too, like ladybugs, bees, or butterflies. Fertilizers can eventually get into the ocean and cause problems there, too. There are lots of volunteer opportunities to help plant and harvest crops at this beautiful farm, located in Ubud, Bali. For more information, try the link below:

2. Little Planet Camp (Tioman Island, Malaysia)
This was my very first summer camp away from home and I have to say it was even better than I expected! The camp is on the beach of Tioman Island, but also close to the rainforest and a river. We did tons of outdoor activities such as kayaking, hiking, swimming, climbing, helping out at a local farm, and even watching a baby sea turtle release! I really felt close to nature every minute of this camp, and had a great time, too! Check out their website (and see if you can find anyone familiar in the pictures...):

3. Green Camp (Bali, Indonesia)
Can you imagine a completely environmentally friendly school? It was hard for me before I came with my family to this camp. The Green School is just what it sounds like. The school uses mostly sustainable materials, and is almost entirely made of bamboo! Green Camp is a program they do in the summer. They do grow their own food organically also. During the camp, we helped plant some crops, went hiking, tubing, flew kites, and made some food, too (including organic chocolate!). I really enjoyed this camp also because I learned a lot about sustainable farming and living, and also had a lot of fun! Here's the link!
