This is why our pages highlight the sustainability characteristics of each ecobnb, together with any national or international environmental certifications.<\/p>\n<p><em>Cover photo\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@sarahdorweiler?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Sarah Dorweiler<\/a>\u00a0via Unsplash<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ecobnb is where sustainable accommodations around the world and conscious travelers meet.
