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….

• America’s first carbon-neutral winery
• Green wineries, sustainable using 100 percent solar and wind power

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.

Tam where you envelope what life was like in the late 1800’s, for Bay Area residents on the Railroad Gravity Cars! There was no Disneyland back then, and this train was the “E” ticket.

Mt. Diablo

Find out why on Smart Green Travel on Green 960 AM San Francisco or at www.TheGreenMorning.com.

Mt. Shasta

Ok, they did, on Smart Green Travel, it’s all Denver clocking in at #2 for the most Green city I’ve discovered, other than San Francisco.  Denver is sooooooooooo couscous to Being Green. Within just a one mile radius, there are three sports green stadiums, the country’s second largest performing arts complex, an assortment of art and history museums, a mint producing 10 billion coins a year, a river offering whitewater rafting, the country’s only downtown amusement park, a new world-class aquarium, more than 8,000 hotel rooms and more than 300 restaurants, most organic beer brewed per day than any other American city and of course, the music. What the Grateful Dead did in Denver, that’s historical, only on Smart Green Travel, with Jerry Hart.
