I heard it through the Green Grapevine on Smart Green Travel with Jerry Hart on Green 960 AM San Francisco

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….

  • Green wineries, sustainable using 100 percent solar and wind power
  • Synthetic-chemical-free farming
  • Integrated pest management - Now, there’s a reason to celebrate what’s organic at Green Wineries!

These Green Vineyard Thought Leaders, working each day in their gift, and with their love for living green, will leave your palette craving your favorite wine, and incentives to make immediate plans for a stay-cation at your next Green Winery close to home

What’s Going Green in Amusement Parks? on Smart Green Travel with Jerry Hart on Green 960 AM San Francisco

harry-potter-theme-park-2Yep, that’s the “Harry Potter Forbidden Journey” ride at Universal in Florida. Buckle up and pull down your harness, for a virtual roller coaster ride on Green in Amusement Parks. Smart Green Travel, hears from America’s biggest Amusement Parks and their Green steps to sustainability in the most wild places.

From Walt Disney World’s 30 tons of food grown at Epcot each month, to Sea Worlds  OSHA Whale Trainer accident investigation, to  Six Flags new baby dolphins in Vallejo, and the beautiful story of what happened to Mom, and one of her baby boy dolphins, when he was born.

Male Penguins, have got it rough! When you visit the newly updated Penguin exhibit at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, visit the Penguins for more than ten minutes. Witness the relentless testing of the females during the creation of her nest, insisting that he help her build the nest on her complicated terms. The male penguin, tirelessly, works each long day, hauling twigs and eggs up the mountain, drops them in front of her, and awaits her approval.  She often declines and forces him to leave, once again, down the mountain, to then return to the nest, with something steinhart-aquarium-san-franciscomore to her liking. They are monogamous, and the female is testing her mates endurance, as husband, and father, as he spends all day, for many weeks, climbing a small mountain, in the exhibit, pushing wooden eggs and twigs, up to the Mother’s nest,  only to have her reject his efforts repeatedly. Back down the hill he goes, to start the process all over again.  Male Penguins repeat this pattern countless times a day, and have the most exhausting schedule  I’ve ever witnessed of any animals in captivity. Watch them right now LIVE on the PenguinCAM

steinhart-aquarium-san-francisco-sustainable-roofThe Steinhart Aquarium in San Francisco is also dazzling. Nearly 10 years and $500 million dollars in the making, it’s finally here. The new Academy is a masterpiece in sustainable architecture, blends seamlessly into the park’s natural setting, and is filled with hundreds of innovative exhibits and thousands of extraordinary plants and animals.

A  Smart Green Trip down memory lane leads you to memories on the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz. One of the last standing Boardwalks in California, still exists, because of the “Green mindset and pride and unity amongst the staff, mixed with a deep conviction and passion, that sustains and attracts millions of us, to this Bay Area time capsule again and again.  The fun is hearing about the new Haunted Castle, the cool Surfer lighthouse museum, that’s open to the public, and just the simplicity, of our historical and nostalgic  Boardwalk

What’s Green?, and what’s new for the entire family at Green Amusement Parks in America,

How bout that “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey” at Universal Studios? What aspect of the Wizarding World are you most excited for? What do you hope they include in the park from the books or movies?

Toss one of the Boat, Yacht, or Sailboat owners a small donation [for tight budgets, we're talking small, like 5 to 20 bucks] to support sailing schools for kids, and you’re entire family can sail on all kinds of water vessels, big and small, all weekend long. 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.

Plus, Special Guest, Beth Greer, SuperNaturalMom, from Green 960 AM’s www.thegreenmorning.com,  illuminates you with the latest water bottles and food dyes to avoid, that are banned in Europe, yet still available for you to ingest here in the United States

Oil clean up nylons stuffed with pet and human hair from San Francisco’s Matter of Trust.org on Smart Green Travel on Green 960 AM San Francisco

Big Round of applause for MatterofTrust.org, requesting hair salons all over the nation to donate nylons stuffed with pet and human hair oil boom clean up effort. www.MatterofTrust.org, gleaned the idea from a TV show on Bravo and 6 months ago started collecting Nylons. It was intuition about a potential oil spill catastrophe that lead them to start asking hair salons all over the country to chip in hair from everywhere. Matter of Trust was already in divine leadership to start a national campaign to collect nylons to save the wildlife and beaches.

We here in the Bay Area know how moving [no pun intended] it is, when we have an earthquake, then to join hands of neighbors we probably never met, and then BOOM! Crisis ensues, and it’s the ones you’ve been feet apart from and never spoken too, who then graciously count on you and you for them, to provide whatever is needed in those frightening moments.

The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans is accepting donations of nylons, hair and fur on behalf of Matter of Trust (www.matteroftrust.org) to create booms for the oil spill.  Louisiana and millions of Gulf residents are once again teaching us that crisis reveals the most honest, sincere part of us. It’s where Doing green and Being green divide.

“The fishermen and farmers are important to our livelihood; says Char Thian from Ritz Carlton - New Orleans. We want to let them know that we care. In honor of being green, M Bistro Restaurant in the Ritz, New Orleans is the only restaurant in the ‘Big Easy’ to have a compost program.  They also have something called R.E.A.C.T.; it is a team of employees that meet monthly to find ways to make The Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans more energy efficient and eco-conscious.  Every little bit counts.”

If you’re emotional about the spill and will not stand down until you see changes NOW from the White House, Earth Day Network will mirror your frustration and offers where to go and what to do with all the emotions on the issue to make necessary regulation changes. If you’re an optimist about America’s future, you’ll hear that tone from the leaders of Louisiana on the front lines of this disaster.

You might be surprised how some of  New Orleans constituents seem patient with the Government and BP’s response to the oil spill.

Smart Green Travel presents an interesting perspective for us here in the Bay Area, 2000 miles away from the spill.
