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?

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.

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.
