Green Adventures in the Air with Jerry Hart on Smart Green Travel on Green 960 AM San Francisco

zepplin-comparisonHave 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.

Special Interview: Nelson Mandela attracts World Cup to South Africa, plus Green Weddings on Smart Green Travel with Jerry Hart on Green 960 AM San Francisco

Sponsored by Dome Guys: When one of their geodesic domes first comes into view, you’ll feel a sense of wonderment and anticipation. Step inside the dome, and the experience truly feels like no other.

So, lets say you just don’t care about the biggest sports event in the world, World Cup. But wait!, there’s so much to glean from the people of South Africa, on a personal level.  We travel to African continent this week to hear Mandela’s message of forgiveness, in a world of contention, uncertainty, and fear.  He said, “If I cannot change when circumstances demand it, how can I expect others too”.

If that one didn’t penetrate, here’s another one. “To build hope for family and friends, we must exceed our own expectations”, Mandela said.

Lets go to South Africa, and do it on a tight budget without going there on Smart Green Travel, as we welcome Ms. Sthu Zungu, working hand in hand with Nelson Mandela everyday, directing the WorldCup, and at the helm of Tourism for South Africa.

Plus, is this a joke? 5 star luxury Kenyazi South Africa Wildlife Safari. It’s not! I found Chris Cote, from Gilroy, being responsible morally and socially aware. Kenyazi, translated into English means, “Star”.  Nothing like a few minutes with a great guy from the Bay Area who lives in Africa 8 months out of the year. When you’re ready to do Africa, you’ll remember this interview, and how it pierced your consciousness. Spending money on your sustainable travel plans is  so moving, when your hard earned bucks turn into fresh water wells for those who need it so badly in the very places where you Safari. We honor Chris Cote, for bridging hunger and water relief missions with 5 star luxury African Safari trips, on this weeks Smart Green Travel with Jerry Hart.

And finally, what’s a Green Wedding? Did you know, in the Bay Area we have 54,000 weddings each year. Average cost? $26,000. Try spending that in San Francisco. Sorry. You’re not quite there yet. Try $50,000 for a wedding.

Our Green Event Planners and Photographers are very direct. “The wedding industry missed this opportunity to support the sustainable economy. It sells over consumption and unsustainable products”, said  Corina Ann Beczner, of www.vibrantevents.net

Listen to Smart Green Travel with Jerry Hart, for everything deeply rooted in a Green event/wedding.

A bottom line bargain for the family, with the best view of San Francisco, and a perfect picnic spot on Saturday, June 26 and Sunday, June 27

What’s a Reality Tour?
The idea that travel can be educational, fun, and positively influence international affairs motivated the first Global Exchange Reality Tours in 1989. Their tours provide individuals the opportunity to understand issues beyond what is communicated by the mass media and gain a new vantage point from which to view and affect US foreign policy. Travelers are linked with activists and organizations from around the globe who are working toward positive change. They also hope to prompt participants to examine related issues in their own communities.

The San Francisco Zoo has opened a Green Exhibit.  If it’s about animals, we’re probably talking about it on Smart Green Travel.

In a museum in the morning and on a mountain in the afternoon, only in San Francisco! on Smart Green Travel on Green 960 AM San Francisco

What are you doing for a Green Memorial Day Weekend? Stay home near the cool fog, treat yourself and that work-a-holic schedule to a cool relaxing restaurant. Next,  open your intentions to the best of our city, our neighborhoods yet to be explored, so many cultures to experience. Always more to discover…Only in San Francisco.

Here was my favorite part of this weeks Smart Green Travel, especially with a famous brother, drummer of the Grateful Dead. Come with me, and lets take a 90 minute ride on the “Magic Bus”. Video screens inside the plush retro bus and tuned up for a trip without the acid, back to the 60’s, as one of the most special features of San Francisco’s International Arts Festival.

If I changed my attitude about dancers that sacrifice so much to come to our home, San Francisco, from all over the world, you might do the same. I’ve realized, with the help of Andrew Wood, Director of San Francisco’s International Art Festival, that the dancer craves to unveil societal issues thru their dancing, genuinely explaining today’s society breakdowns and turmoil, with hope that we understand each other, no matter what color we are, worldwide.

20 dance organizations from all over the world are coming to San Francisco and how more green can you be than to take the family down to Fort Mason on Memorial Day Weekend or enjoy free to watch dancing in Union Square with extremely talented, skilled, tenacious dancers with a pure message of BEING green shared thru their performance

Nearly a decade ago, San Francisco was riding high on the wealth of the dot com explosion. And it showed in outrageously high priced hotels, restaurants and real estate. When the bubble burst, the city was forced to adjust. In fact, now is a great time to visit the somewhat humbler, but just as fabulous, cultural mecca of the Left Coast. Hotels and restaurants have lowered their prices, making it easier to enjoy a weekend here.

One of the best things about San Francisco is that you can be in a museum in the morning and on a mountain in the afternoon. Mind-expanding cultural attractions exist alongside invigorating outdoor activities. Gaze at the work of Jackson Pollock at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art in the morning and then head to Muir Woods to peer up at gigantic redwoods in the afternoon. From the hippie haunts of Haight-Ashbury to the colorful Victorian architecture of the predominantly gay Castro District, and from Japantown to Chinatown, San Francisco is all about neighborhoods. Each has a distinct look and vibe. You could easily spend a day in each or hop on a streetcar to sample a few.

Smart Green Travel with Jerry Hart on Green 960 AM San Francisco, will help all of us literally go green as we learn tips to travel eco-consciously, see the planet we are working so hard to preserve, share ideas and gather ways on how to continue our green journey, while at the same time learning to relax and enjoy every minute we have on this great big home we call Mother Earth.

Underground Portland Walking Tour, a no-holds-barred excursion into the worst Portland has to offer on Smart Green Travel with Jerry Hart on Green 960 AM San Francisco

So what is the Underground Portland Walking Tour? It’s a no-holds-barred excursion into the worst Portland has to offer. The dark and sordid side of Portland. A treat for lovers of all things sinister and you’ll only hear it on Smart Green Travel on Green 960 AM, Saturday’s starting at 11:30 AM.

Portland did promise you a rose garden with a west coast Rose Festival and Parade. If you haven’t heard of Oregon’s Rose Festival happening in May, hear how this celebration is reason enough to head to Portland for Memorial Day Weekend. You thought Pasadena tore it up and turned it on, well, Portland’s Rose Festival includes one of Oregon’s largest fireworks displays, this thunderous pyrotechnics show soars over the Waterfront Village beginning at nightfall.

Locally Organic Sourced Food! Per capita, Portland has the most restaurants offering locally organic food than any other city in America.

And most importantly, Portland is a city of authentic green leaders who are living proof that a large city in America can work together, government and community, in harmony, and walk the talk of BEING green.  Catch their infectious green approach to living consciously sustainable everyday and turn it on! Smart Green Travel right here on Hart of Green.
