Environmental authorities have teamed with 14 African countries to develop an African Environmental eLearning Network in an effort to strengthen eco-education programs through technology.

During the 4th eLearning Africa Conference in Senegal, environmental representatives at a UNEP seminar agreed to roles and responsibilities in establishing and African Environmental eLearning Network to share expertise, best practices and eLearning content.

After a long evaluation process, Naperville, Illinois’ Hotel Arista has finally earned an official LEED certification almost a full year since its opening, becoming the state’s first hotel to ever achieve LEED status.

Situated 45 minutes west of downtown Chicago, the 144-room modern and residential-style hotel offers “urban sophistication in a suburban setting,” balancing contemporary amenities and design with eco-friendliness.

“We are thrilled to have accomplished this certification, which not only demonstrates that being environmentally friendly is how we were constructed from the ground up, but also as the way we operate and the very core of what Hotel Arista stands for,” says Jeff Wardlaw, general manager, Hotel Arista.

The LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System, established and managed by the U.S. Green Building Council, is a voluntary, consensus-based standard to support and certify successful green building design, construction…

Visitors to Hidden Valley’s aptly named “Solar Eco Cabins and Interpretive Center” are treated to awe-inspiring nature tours in the spectacular and pristine natural environment, while learning “hands-on” the methods in which solar power technology is utilized at the resort.

“Hidden Valley is not on grid power and, over the years, we have developed ways to decrease our reliance on generator power while making sure our guests enjoy all the comfort and facilities they need,” said Ross McLennan, Hidden Valley…
