This Slate story and the accompanying video are pretty interesting. They tell of a remote village in Peru whose people had been living in... »

The Around the World Dream Becomes a Reality (Soon)
Now this is exciting. We have a big new project that is going to keep us super busy (along with our paying jobs, volunteer activities, family obligations, soccer on the weekends, drinking red wine, and avoiding Facebook): Planning a year-long, around-the-world trip! Sadly, this trip is not for us, but it is for someone very... »
Location, Location, Location! Eco-Retreat Center Needs Your Input

As Borat would say: ……… Not. Come on, Algarrobo, (one of our most favorite places in Chile, coincidentally) is this the best you can do? I mean, yeah, it looks cool, but this level of consumption is a little beyond the pale, no? Of course, this seaside Chilean resort is about to be bested by the... »
Eco-Friendly Transportation in Santiago, Chile
While in some ways a beautiful and tourist-friendly city, Santiago, Chile is also known to have air pollution bad enough that you can barely see the Andes “cordillera” in certain parts of the city, even though it may be no more than a mile away. The smog (or “esmog” as the Chileans pronounce it)... »
