By: Richard Varner - iStayGreen.org Richard Varner, founder of iStayGreen.org states “Our members separate fact from hype.

Richard says “We see these 43 million travelers as the basis for a grassroots effort that can and will change the way people travel and interact with the travel industry. They’re already concerned; all they need is a platform to make their voice heard, a way to put pressure on the travel industry to be transparent and Green-up! That’s why iStayGreen.org was created.” Visit http://www.iStayGreen.org today to learn how you can join their community and make a difference for our environment. # # # About iStayGreen.org: End
