TreeHuggerTV - Freshtopia Takes the Long Train

by Leonora Oppenheim, London, UK on 12.13.06
TreeHugger TV

This week on TreeHuggerTV we are excited because we've teamed up with our good friends, and fellow Vloggie winners, Oscar and Tanja over at Freshtopia. This dynamic duo are embarking on an intrepid journey across America and they are taking us with them! As you might know from watching Freshtopia's vlog Oscar and Tanja like to put time, effort and enthusiasm into everything they do, most often with beautiful food, but in this case it's traveling. Why fly fast by plane when you can take the long way round by train - it's so much more enjoyable! So get on board and settle in as Freshtopia takes you to explore the perks and pitfalls of traveling the country by rail. From dining cars to vast landscapes, traveling by train offers a different take on time than we are used to in our rapid transit world.

For those of you who have caught the travel bug then take a trip into the TreeHugger archives to read more about air travel and climate change, taking the train to Toronto, summer train travel, and solar assisted Italian trains. That should keep you on the right track!

We hope you are all enjoying the easy access THTV screens at the top of every TreeHugger page. Just so everyone can choose their favourite format here are a number of other ways you can watch THTV: Subscribe to our weekly podcast from iTunes, so that you receive a new episode every week without any effort at all!

Too kind!
It was a pleasure putting this video together, and as much pleasure meeting you and the treehugger team at November's Vloggies. Hope you enjoy it... and try taking the train! If viewers have any questions, don't hesitate to send them our way.

Ah! You were in my back yard and I missed it!?

Who's in Ann Arbor? I'm only a 30 minute drive from there.

I'd love to come up and hang with any area vloggers.
