Honestly, I don't know what goes on in spas. To me, it seems like you give the spa a few hundred bucks and they dunk you in mud, put pickles on your eyes and give you a back rub. There might be some hot tubs and nail files involved at various times, but I'm only speculating.
Despite my spa ignorance, I am knowledgeable enough to help others find a spa that operates in an eco-friendly manner. The Green Spa Network has a database of eco-friendly spas. Here are the GSN's prerequisites for being a green spa.

The Spa Index also has a listing for eco-friendly spas.
For more green spas you can check out Discover Spas with Julie Register. Their database is small, yet easy-to-read and quickly accessible.
Even if you don't live near any of these green spas, you can call all the spas in your area and ask them if they use any of the tenets laid down by the Green Spa Network. And, if you want to be pushy about it, you can give them a copy of the GSN's "How to Go Green For Spas Guide."
