Los Cabos Gives Eco-tourists a Run (and Dive, and Swim, and Ride) for Their Money
16
As the world has changed, travelers’ interests have changed with it. For a significant swath of vacationers, the old model of going to an established resort area, gobbling expensive meals and taking some hurried snapshots for a soon-forgotten album is long gone. Many travelers are now looking for—and finding—something different, something more authentic or participatory. For these travelers, vacationing can present educational immersion in a world unto its own, exciting physical challenges to overcome, or cultural explorations that open the mind to new ways of thinking.
The Los Cabos area is renowned both for the lively “party-town” aspect of Cabo San Lucas and for its laid-back, desert-meets-the-sea appeal. Any traveler can find its fabulous resorts and its luxury villas, and can spend the finest of times lounging around beautiful pools. But Los Cabos also has much to offer the new breed of travel pilgrim.
Discerning eco-tourists can choose from a wide array of Los Cabos offerings, from whale and bird-watching excursions to turtle hatchings, kayaking, mountain biking, snorkeling and scuba diving, dolphin encounters, mountain climbing and more. Earth, Sea & Sky Vacations is pleased to offer a variety of organized tours and excursions that take enthusiasts far from the common tourist package, and into the soul of the Baja experience.
Take, for instance, our tours offered through the Carisuva (which means “in touch with nature”) Foundation, an ecological project that seeks to preserve Baja California’s Ecological environment through education of visitors and local children. The Rhino Safari tour lets you drive Yamaha Rhinos (essentially small, low-horsepower jeeps) on rugged off-track paths and canyon trails to a spectacular Pacific vista, with stops along the way to discuss desert flora and fauna. Carisuva also has exhilarating Pacific Beach horseback rides.
For those wanting to be in the water rather than looking at it, you might consider Manta Scuba diving or a live-aboard dive trip on the Solmar V. These organizations will transport you to select spots such as Cabo Pulmo or on a nine-day trip to the Socorro Islands, where you’re likely to encounter dazzlingly colorful fish, giant manta rays, sharks, sea lions, turtles and spectacular underwater canyons. Extended multi-day trips include all meals, and can also include a variety of optional equipment. Those who might want a bit more luxury in their boating experiences should consider a week-long private yachting venture into the Sea of Cortez aboard a lavish vessel like the Panache.
Looking for something with a little more zip? What about whipping through the air on a zip line over an enchanting canyon, courtesy of Cabo Adventures? This exciting activity is conducted by experienced guides that are absolutely dedicated to the protection and preservation of this protected biosphere. The picturesque desert mountain canyon, deep stream-fed pools and waterfalls are sure to satisfy adventure seekers and eco-tourists alike.
For visitors who want to practice true “voluntourism,” you could consider participating in one of the local resort’s protected sea turtle programs. Resort guests can watch adult turtles laying their eggs, observe the hatched turtles in their holding corral, handle the baby turtles in a supervised setting and personally release them into the sparkling Sea of Cortez.
Some people might gravitate to far-flung lands like the exotic Galapagos or frozen Antarctica for their ventures; some people might even crave an unusual jungle outing like gorilla tracking in far-off Rwanda. But some will wisely choose Los Cabos, where they’ll find a bright world of intrigue and excitement, where a vacation doesn’t merely have to be a vacation, but can be a lifetime experience. Let one our Los Cabos vacation experts make your next vision a reality.
What time are you suppose to turn your lights off on Earth Day (today) to make a difference?

I have 2 kids and they watch Nickelodeon ALOT and i happen to see a glance of the Earth Day commercial about if everyone turns their lights, etc. off for 1 minute or more that it can make a difference. That is easy enough for me (:
How can I find an eco-friendly company to buy shares in? (And how do I go about buying shares?)?
15
I want to buy shares probably in a company that manufactures solar panels, if possible.
I’m an art major, still in college, and I don’t know much about investing money.
I have about 1000 dollars sitting in the bank, so I am getting interest, but I know that leaving it there won’t pay off too much in the long run. I want to invest it somehow so I can get a payoff either in five years or so, after I’m finished with school and want to buy a house, or even when I’m ready to retire I guess.
As far as I know, the stock market is high-risk but high-pay off. I think investing in an eco-friendly company would be pretty safe and profitable though with current trends.
Do you think it’s a good idea or is there somewhere better I can put my money?
And how do you buy shares? I have no idea.
Eco-label Cleaning Products - a Breakthrough for the Uk’s Cleaning Industry
10
Clean and green cleaning products,whether used in a washing machine, a mop bucket or the kitchen sink, all contain cleaning agents that help to strip away grime. After flushed down the drain, many detergents cause undue harm to nature. By contrast, cleaning products with the Eco-label do the same job while causing minimal environmental harm.
Eco Cleaning Products Advantage:
guarantee effectiveness — the products are tested by independent laboratories for quality; are labelled with clear guidelines for safe, effective and efficient use; and contain fewer hazardous chemicals.
By following the Eco-label range, you get products that tread gently on the environment throughout their life cycle, from the creation of the chemicals themselves, to their packaging, to their disposal . Simply said, Eco-labelled cleaning products are better by nature.
The Eco-label cleaning supplies range represents a breakthrough for the UK’s cleaning industry and will help to address the increasing problem of toxic chemicals entering the ecosystem from the cleaning industry.
The range which boasts several unique products, including a multipurpose detergent, glass cleaner, cleaning chemicals, and handwash/ hand cleaners will appeal to companies, contractors and distributors who are increasingly concerned with the environmental impact of cleaning regimes.
The eco-label is recognised throughout Europe as a top-level award scheme for products that provide first class performance with minimal environmental impact.
Detergents and cleaning products that carry the eco-label flower icon achieve high levels of biodegradability and are independently certified to prove they are greener, yet still perform as well as other leading brands.
The hope is “that now there would be more companies within the cleaning industry taking steps to address their notorious environmental impact.”
The green ecolabel products are colloid cleaners, based on micelle technology.
Colloid cleaners use electrically charged micelle molecule structures to separate and trap dirt, lifting it from the surface to which it adhered without the ability to redeposit.
The range of products is compliant with both current and future legislation, including the European Biocidal Products Directive which will come into effect under the REACH Directive to ensure that a high level of protection for humans, animals and the environment is provided.
To ensure demand for the eco-label range of products is met, the companies should actively seek distribution partners on a national level.

I’m looking to “Go Green”, but I’m not really sure how to do so without spending a lot of extra time and money. My schedule’s tight and so is my budget. Got any suggestions?
What are the most eco-friendly methods of heating water in a house?
09
Our water heater is looking very sad and yesterday our neighbors burst. I took it as a sign.
My husband wants to get a tankless water heating system.
I’m wondering which methods are most eco-friendly, energy saving, etc.
I don’t think we can afford solar panels.
I should have mentioned that I live in South Florida so if I can harness the sun’s energy in a way I can afford (upfront) then I’m in the perfect location to do it.
