Sustainable Energy Role Models
In beautiful northwestern California, the Wiyot, Yurok, and Hupa tribes living in Blue Lake Rancheria have created a casino complex that’s a perfect example of sustainable energy in action. By focusing on reducing energy consumption and cutting emissions, they’ve made a huge difference in their environmental impact and are moving toward a self-sufficient energy system. The setup powers six buildings, including a 55,000-square-foot casino, the perfect place for one to and 102 hotel rooms—over 140,000 square feet of total building space.

Members of the tribe come from Wiyot, Yurok, and Hupa lineages, and live on a reservation of around 100 acres.

[Read more...]Food Tourism: Sink Your Teeth into the World
For many people, some of the best memories in life involve food. Memorable family dinners during holidays, that sea bass you had on a cruise to the Bahamas, and the baked Alaska you dined on the night your fiancé proposed to you.

Polar caps are melting, ocean levels are rising, the Amazon is burning—climate change is real and Mother Earth and Greta Thunberg are screaming at us for help. But why do we freeze while the planet boils? Why do we fear a sixteen-year-old girl in pigtails as we applaud big industries switching to renewable energy resources?

But as we cheer on the casinos’ renewable energy plans, we hesitate to stand up with Greta Thunberg. Across the globe, her message has been received with praise and awe, but also with a great deal of fear, resentment, hate, and worst of all, inaction. The Overwhelming Case of Climate Action Climate change is terrifying. Science tells us that we are in the midst of the sixth mass extinction caused by
