Dolphins! Have you spoken to anyone who swims with them in the wild frequently? On Smart Green Travel, you’ll hear Lisa Alpine share spectacular play by play details of water dancing with the dolphins and what she describes as dolphin daycare,  in Hawaii, where pods of dolphin parents drop their baby dolphin kids off near shore, while they go out to grab lunch and dinner. Plus, a beautiful interactive story of what happens when hundreds of dolphins arrive in front of you, with their kids in tow, and what ensues from there.

Meanwhile, there’s nothing cute about this.  It’s hard to believe any country would still allow dolphin hunting.  At the Cove in Taiji, the dolphin killing continues. Although the killing of bottlenose dolphins -  slaughtered for meat by the Taiji fishermen starts September 1st in Japan, the fight for the protection of all marine mammals goes on. Sign the petition with SaveJapanDolphins.org as Smart Green Travel joins Ric O’ Barry’s heroic efforts to expose the plight of dolphins worldwide  and save these innocent precious creatures.

Green Aquariums

Where can you climb through the layers of the rain forest and descend into a 100,000 gallon “Flooded Forest” tank, where freshwater fish cruise overhead? Where can you see a 2 ½ acre Living Roof, an expansive solar canopy, an extensive water reclamation system, and walls insulated with recycled blue jeans? Only in San Francisco!

Smart Green Travel takes you to the Greenest Aquariums in the country, including San Francisco’s Steinhart Aquarium, the largest green public platinum-rated building in the world, for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).

Special Highlight! “Penguins and Pajamas”. Overnight sleep overs this fall and winter, at the Aquarium.

Then, down to L.A. and the “Aquarium of the Pacific” in Los Angeles ,where guests hop onto big boats to go whale watching.  And, the “Tennessee Aquarium”, celebrating green consciousness and connectedness to mammals and animals, saving extinct endangered species, including the “Redneck Turtle”. no pun intended

Carbon neutral: the 'fairy tale' castle of Neuschwanstein

Yes. We know from German folklore (think Hansel and Gretel, and Little Red Riding Hood) that the forest, or Wald, was an important part of life in Germany’s past. With forest still covering 31 per cent of the country – almost three times as much as the UK – the nation is deeply green.

It is also way ahead in terms of “green” issues. Germany recycles three-fifths of domestic waste compared to about one-fifth here; there are now only 150 landfill sites in Germany, compared with 50,000 in the early Seventies.

If you are choosing the nation at the heart of Europe initially for its environmentally friendly credentials, you are in for a treat in terms of the green and open spaces it offers. Germany has one-third more people than Britain, but the population density is lower and more rural.

American’s pair wine with food, while Europeans pair wine with life. The numbers speak for themselves. Whether you’re like me, a novice with wine, or a connoisseur, the FACT IS:

Europeans drink 28 gallons of wine per year, per person. American’s drink 3 gallons of wine per year.

What can we embrace from other cultures that do both?; pair wine with food, and, pair wine with life.

Hear from the smallest, to the largest green wineries on Smart Green Travel, providing all kinds of ways to evaluate how they’re going green, and offering such great combination’s  of antiquated farming techniques, with modern technology to offer you authentic carbon-offsets.

A green winery is only as green as the companies values, consciousness and ethics. Meaning, does the winery invest in projects that truly reduce emissions, and at the same time benefit the employees,  local populations and Eco-systems?

If you miss Smart Green Travel every Saturday, from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm, on Green 960 AM or, on the Web at TheGreenMorning.com, then count on Hart of Green.com to help you connect with fresh green news, for example, we shine the eco-spotlight on….

Have you seen this behemoth white whale in the sky over the Bay Area? FYI, I was also informed we are not to confuse Blimps, with a Zepplin Air Ship. Yes, at the top of that illustration to the left, the AirShip nearly dwarfs our largest jumbo jets. The Zepplin company, that also built the Hindenburg, is not the same Airship our Great Grandpa’s engineered at the Zepplin plant back in 1925. And, it’s significantly Green, in many ways, one of the safest aircraft in the sky. Who knew? Blimps and Airships, how are they Green, and what’s the difference between the two?

The Zepplin is the largest, and only AirShip in North America, for the average Joe, like you and I, to see the Bay Area, like no other 360 degree visual experience possible.  Some have described it as a ‘personal cloud’ or ‘knowing what birds feel like’. Find out how Airships are a significant part of a post Green world, for example, right now,  one big-momma-of-a-Zepplin-Airship, is assisting in the clean up of our oil spill in the Gulf.
