PLUGGED IN
Just back from a trip to Oklahoma City, and the NATJA (North American Travel Journalists) annual conference, I was quite excited to hear world traveler, noted author Jeff Greenwald speak on his latest endeavor, ETHICAL TRAVELER, an ethical alliance of travelers dedicated to human rights and environmental protection. Ann Terry Hill Ethical Traveler is the first grass-roots alliance uniting adventurers, tourists, travel agencies, and outfitters — everyone who loves to travel, and sees travel as a positive force in the world. We feel that all travelers are, in effect, freelance ambassadors. We also believe that we have the ability to join our voices, and to use our economic power to strengthen human rights and protect the environment…(description taken from the Ethical Traveler web site.) I urge you to check out this web site: www.ethicaltraveler.org CEDAR CITY, Utah–The Annual Livestock and Heritage Festival activities in Cedar City begin Friday October 24, 2008 with a Michael Martin Murphy concert on the Heritage Theater Stage. Then about 1,500 head of sheep will be herded on Saturday morning, Oct. 25th from local pastures, along Main Street, providing a glimpse of the Old West and its livestock heritage to spectators along the route. Horses, wagons, antiques tractors, and historic and modern sheep camps also will take part in the procession and be on display the remainder of the day at the Center. Additional information at www.cedarlivestockfest.com. Another good tip from NATJA.
