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
