How to Be a Sustainable Travel
The priorities of travelers everywhere have changed, and sustainable travel has emerged as a growing trend as travelers seek to lessen the environmental impact of tourism. To stay relevant, leaders in the travel industry must learn the meaning of sustainable travel and make changes to meet the expectations of conscious travelers.

The Mosquitos In Northern Minnesota This Year Are Atrocious or Horrendous If You Prefer!
Nothing works 100% on mosquitos. I found a bug zapper that we tried when camping. I found it shopping on Publishers Clearing House (PCH). I bought more than a few worthless products there and I thought that would be one of the worthless ones. This one, the hubby said, “Order another if you can!”

To Feed the Beast is to Feed the People?
To develop a critical understanding of hunger and its relationship to the food system one must first understand the political motivation and mechanisms underlying the production of labor behind the modern food system. The real root problem of hunger has never been addressed by western society. Food injustice brews in Western Societies inequitable class system; Capitalism. A mistruth continues to grow; its hunger worsens. Band Aids, or ‘token solutions’ have been applied to the problem instead (Poppendieck 1998). How long will the bandage hold?

Supply chain Imbalances will continue throughout 2022.
The pandemic, the war in Ukraine, rising energy and food prices, supply chain disruptions and the climate crisis are challenges that threaten to destabilize decades of globalization. Just in the last five years, the world has experienced a major trade dispute between the United States and China, a global-scale pandemic caused by COVID-19, the blockage of the Suez Canal, the withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, and the war of Russia against Ukraine.

Touring the Blue World
The emotionless seas were relatively calm despite the light winds, the navy waves not too big or choppy for the dinky little boat and its handful of crew. One by one the divers entered the cool water, each of them fully equipped and ready to go deep. Every time a diver enters, an eruption of white water splotches the surface of the vast blue expanse like a mini volcano eruption, before disappearing in a cloud of bubbles. On the surface, one would describe the Blue World as an azure desert, no signs of anything but a few seagulls squawking their repetitive call as they hovered in the air. The same could not be said about the reef below. As the divers submerged themselves, they are teleported into a world of living color. Massive coral spires of all shapes, sizes, and color dot the seascape as fish of equal variation dart in and out and all around. The few small gaps of real estate between the coral were quickly and thoroughly covered in all manner of sea grass and sea ferns. This is the Blue World most people are familiar with in the picture books and documentaries. Luckily these waters remain unaffected by encroaching disasters that have befallen the surrounding reefs. That luck will soon run out though, as it does not take the divers long to reach the edge of what some locals call the boarder of death. True to its description, the bleached coral’s white hue is a stark contrast to the vibrantly colored, healthy, living coral. It is almost as if the reef is haunted by its dead relatives, surrounded by their pale ghosts and white unliving corpses.

The Environmental Issues
I was born in the city of Beijing. When I was a child, I climbed to the top of the tall building in the courtyard - this building was in Xidan - and looked around and often saw the Buddhist incense pavilion in the Summer Palace. Xidan is at least 20 miles away from the Summer Palace. A few years ago, I lived in Beijing University Changchunyuan, only a few miles away from the Summer Palace, from the window to see the Buddha Xiang Pavilion, eight times out of ten times can not see. The air in Beijing is always misty, a bit misty, and a bit choking, not so when I was a child. I've grown up and become an axle man - that is, a man with a shirt collar like an axle. When I lived in Beijing, I had to change my shirt almost every day, and when I was abroad, I could wear a shirt for days. There are many cities in the world that are known for their pollution: Milan, Los Angeles, London, etc. I have been to all of them, with the exception of Mexico City. As far as I can see, the situation in Beijing is bad among these cities as well.
