Tucson
Green Tucson
From carrying your own canvas shopping bags to choosing organic produce and energy-efficient light bulbs, being green sure has become trendy—and we mean that in a good way. Tucson is an especially earth-conscious city—the American Lung Association ranked Tucson as being the No. 6 city in the country for clean air in their “State of the Air: 2009” report. Here are a few green tidbits about Tucson venues and activities to expand your eco-I.Q.
Tucson’s Children’s Activities
With the kids officially out of school for the next couple of heat-drenched months, you’ll need more than just the park and swimming pool circuit to keep the little ones entertained and the play dates painless.

Summertime is all about kicking back and relaxing—which almost always includes a nice glass of wine. The next time you’re thinking about popping the cork on your favorite red or white, give your patio chairs a rest and head to one of Tucson’s most beloved venues in which to wine and dine.
