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….

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?

Summer Sailstice for the family, on the Island we treasure, Treasure Island. 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

Small Business Owners, This is our time baby! by Jerry Hart

My gut says, that the companies born in this recession will be the stuff of legend by the end of the decade.  Here’s 5 trends for small business I see coming at us like a storm on doppler radar.

5. Mastering (note: the word “mastering”, not just tapping into) social media is one of the hottest of all online trends.

I thought “Sex” was the most searched term online in 2009. NOT! Facebook” in fact was the most searched term in 2009. (Source: Experian Hitwise)

Big business has discovered what many small businesses already know: Facebook is a great place to advertise.

Hop on the social media train, Jane, because it’s headed out of the station at light speed.

farmers-market4. Going Local in a green farmers market sort of way: Consumers are increasingly looking for a local angle when looking where to spend their hard-earned dollar.

Example: The explosion of farmers markets across the country. According to Entrepreneur, “there are almost 5,000 farmers markets across the country, the result of more than 5% annual growth for the past five years.”

Additionally, with people staying closer to home right now and with the green ethos growing, home is where the heart (and dollar) is.

3. Sharing vs. Shared Experiences: We are all not watching or experiencing the same thing nearly as much.

For the small business person, it is vital to realize that 1) people look for, and increasingly expect, the personal, and 2) small, localized, immediate user-created media are where the eyeballs are headed.

2. Mobile marketing is exploding. Whether it is creating the Next Big App, offering customers a real-time mobile coupon, or creating a text marketing campaign, in 2010 there will be mobile options galore for small business.

It is a new world indeed.

20101. The Start-Up Economy:

The outlook is both brighter and calmer. It is calmer because things are slowly getting back to, if not normal, at least something recognizable. And it is brighter because out of the rubble, a new, vital, innovative start-up economy is being born.

We have entered the era of small business. Whereas GM president Charles Wilson once said “What’s good for the country is good for GM, and vice versa,” it can now safely be said that what is good for small business is good for the country. Consider these statistics.

Small businesses now

• Number almost 30 million
• Employ more than half of all workers
• Constitute 99.7% of all employers
• Constitute 97% of all exporters
• Create the majority of business innovations
(Source: U.S. Small Business Administration Office of Advocacy, 2009)

With 10% unemployment for as far as the eye can see, with the unemployed running out of benefits, and with benefits not what they once were for the employed, start-ups of all shapes and sizes are taking root: One person shops, green home-based businesses, part-time ventures, online enterprises, high tech companies – you name it. These are the folks who, with their creative energy, drive, ingenuity, and hard work will be leading us out of this anything but great recession.

  • Do You Enjoy Your Home Based Business? Planting The Seeds Of A Home Based Business. Since I was a small boy I always liked the idea of owning my own business. When I was 16 I use to stay up late at night watching all the infomercials, dreaming about what it would be like to be a......
