Earth Day SIX Days and Counting

Thursday, April 16th, 2009

In 2008 Audubon and Toyota, Inc. teamed up to launch TogetherGreen with the intent of funding conservation projects, train environmental leaders, and offer volunteer and individual action opportunities that significantly benefit the environment.

Audubon has been working from their community-based scientific, advocacy, and nature centers for two centuries now to bring people from all walks of life together and provide a central point in conservation efforts.

You don’t have to wait until Earth Day to start clearing trails or helping out. Contact the Volunteer section of TogetherGreen.org. to find activities being run over the next three weeks in various areas.

AMANKORA – Properties in Bhutan

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

I want to go to Bhutan! Four lodges make up Amankora in Bhutan’s central and western valleys. The lodges utilize “clean” electricity, mostly drawn from a hydro electric grid. Recycling activities boast a 95% capture rate. Adhering to ancient cultural, religious and social traditions, Bhutan annually offers a limited number of travellers wonderful insights into life in the Himalayas as it has been lived for many centuries. Guests may either visit one of the lodges or, to best experience all that Bhutan has to offer, Amanresorts can plan a tailor-made journey, including one or more of the Amankora lodges located in Paro, Punakha, Gangtey or Thimphu.
