How to repurpose oil railway tracks using a German Monocab

Karin Kloosterman -
The German innovators are hoping to put them to use by creating monorail cabs that can traverse the lines already laid down. This is especially important in the countryside where older people don't drive and small towns are dwindling as people move to the cities for better access to resources.

Atlas Mountain eco retreat at the Kasbah

Karen Spector -
Walking well-trodden mountain pathways, eating fresh local food, and learning about the transformative work embedded in the Kasbah’s approach to tourism has now been imparted to our children. We hope, in turn, these experiences will serve to inform their contributions in the world as they continue to grow. Don’t wait, Morocco is on everyone’s bucket list. Growth and change are inevitable.

Stoned and driving? High THC levels might not mean you are impaired

Karin Kloosterman -
Based on the results from the driving simulation, participants with elevated baseline concentrations of THC did no worse on a driving simulator compared with participants who were below per se cut-off points. Altogether, the results add to a growing body of evidence showing that current per se THC blood limit laws lack scientific credibility as face-value evidence of impairment.

Ski Japan and skip the cherry blossoms

Julie Steinbeck -
apan’s winters reveal a quieter magic far from the cherry blossoms — a landscape of deep snow, mountain silence, and steaming hot springs. From Niseko’s legendary powder in Hokkaido to the Olympic slopes of Hakuba and the ancient baths of Nozawa Onsen, Japan offers some of the world’s most sustainable and culturally rich ski experiences. With efficient bullet-train access, renewable-powered resorts, and geothermal onsens under falling snow, this is how to ski Japan responsibly — where tradition, technology, and climate awareness meet on the same mountain.

Lebanon ski resorts and when to escape climate change

Karin Kloosterman -
Lebanon’s mountain resorts — from Mzaar Ski Resort Faraya to the Cedars of God in Bsharri — offer rare snow in the Middle East, where you can ski by day and swim in the sea by night. But climate change is shrinking snow seasons fast. Resorts like Zaarour, Laqlouq, Faqra, and the Cedars are adapting, turning toward year-round eco-tourism and mountain conservation.

Stay at Michelberger in Berlin, your home base for the last cool city on earth

Karin Kloosterman -
Berlin still feels like the last real city where you can just walk out the door and live without a schedule. Staying at Michelberger gave us a base in the middle of Friedrichshain’s raw energy – near RAW-Gelände, Skatehalle, Boxi and all the vegan food and alt shops you could want. From there, Berlin unfolds on foot, by tram, and without ever needing a tourist plan.

Images of Assomption Island development show extensive beach development

Karin Kloosterman -
Researchers who have studied the island for decades describe it as a key ecological buffer for Aldabra, helping to protect the atoll from pollution, invasive species, and light disturbance. If Assomption’s natural systems collapse, they warn, Aldabra could be next.

Seychelles activists sue government for Qatari development on turtle nesting sites

Karin Kloosterman -
The luxury resort now under legal challenge on Assomption Island is being developed by Assets Group, a Qatar-based real estate company that advertises the project on its own website as a collection of high-end villas and spa facilities in the Seychelles. According to multiple reports, including Mongabay and The Seychelles Nation, the developer is tied to Qatari investors and has relied on the London-based PC Agency to promote the project internationally. Environmental groups allege that Assets Group’s expansion near the UNESCO-protected Aldabra Atoll risks introducing invasive species and undermining decades of conservation work.

Undercover divers find fatal flaws in Egypt’s dive boat industry

Karin Kloosterman -
German magazine stern and broadcaster RTL have confirmed what Green Prophet has reported for months — the sinking of Egypt’s Sea Story dive yacht in November 2024, which killed 11 people, was no freak accident. Their undercover investigation reveals the captain had no licence, the operator lacked legal authorisation, and the vessel had serious stability flaws. A wider probe of 17 Red Sea liveaboard boats found every one had dangerous safety deficiencies, echoing Green Prophet’s earlier coverage of Egypt’s dive tourism safety crisis.

Vegan-Friendly Eco-Lodging: What Makes a Hotel Truly Sustainable?

Bhok Thompson -
Vegan-friendly eco-lodging isn’t a niche—it’s a systems approach. When hotels electrify and decarbonize operations, run plant-forward, low-waste kitchens, and align amenities with cruelty-free principles, they deliver lower footprints and richer guest experiences. With transparent metrics and community partnerships, this model scales from boutique hideaways to global brands.

The Aga Khan is greenwashing their awards

Ronak Roshan -
The hotel’s basic ozonation and composting systems lack advanced treatment needed for sensitive coastal zones. Without independent monitoring, there’s no way to confirm that wastewater meets safety standards. On an island without a municipal sewage network, any leakage could threaten coral reefs, seagrass beds, and turtle habitats.

Exploring Portugal’s Algarve coast sustainably on a walking holiday

Bhok Thompson -
A huge part of sustainable holidays is where you choose to spend your money. The local communities benefit from tourism, as long as it helps to grow their economy. On a walking holiday, you will typically be staying in small, independent hotels or B&Bs along your route, rather than those owned by global chains.

How Torvinen Jaakko’s ugly wood can lay the foundations for green building

Canada's forests generate billions of dollars in economic value each year, yet vast amounts of irregular timber are downgraded to wood chips or biomass.
