Pizzeria Microgreens Experience
Microgreens differentiate  Mamma Ramona's Pizzeria from other California pizzerias.Customers can tour the area where greens are grown for the restaurant on their visits and during their dining experience.Because award winning innovator owner, Andrew Simmons and his restaurant use these microgreens in their restaurant recipes,  they are considered farm-to-table.   Many customers enjoy taking the micro greens home,  to eat as a replacement to junk food; or to add to their own food  recipes at home or elswhere.  The restaurant  can grow 1-3 crops at a time, produce up to 280 trays and net about $25 profit per tray .

Providing Bubble Room for Whales
In Alaska, whale watching is a major tourist attraction. There are over 20 tourist boats in Juneau alone. Humpback whales are protected by the Marine Mammal Protection Act.The federal regulation insures that whales are protected from injury, killing, hunting capturing or harassment. Vessels cannot approach whales within 100 yards or place themselves in the whale path causing the whales to surface within 100 yards of vessel.Captains must use a radio to coordinate other boaters and take turns viewing the whales as to not disturb them.Tourist companies are requested to educate passengers in regard to these regulations.

Global Citizens Making Global Differences Through Dance
World Dance for Humanity, a non for profit was founded by Dr. Janet Reineck in Santa Barbara, California  to provide funds and donations for those in need throughout the world. All monies go to  local charities and international organizations in Syria,  Rwanda and Ukraine. The group of dancers meet online and in person and travel together globally as part of their outreach.
