Awesome climate news: Vox Media formally bans fossil fuel advertisements as part of a broader set of policies and initiatives the publisher is taking to address the climate crisis. THIS IS A BIG WIN FOR US. The move makes Vox the second major global publisher to cease accepting advertisements from companies that extract fossil fuels including ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron, and Shell. The company's refusal to accept advertisements from fossil-fuel industry that is simply greenwashing with its false commitments is commendable. The Guardian instituted a similar ban in 2020. The owner of New York Magazine, Popsugar and The Cut (among others), actually stopped accepting fossil fuel ads since the start of 2021 but has now formalised the policy. Yay Vox for choosing planet over profits! Such a wonderful start to 2023. Vox Media has also partnered with Scope3, an advertising tech firm that enables publishers to measure, reduce and offset the emissions associated with adverts. Adv
After an incredible 7 days in Jordan – hiking, walking, swimming, driving, floating, magical sunsets and sunrise, camping in bubble, witnessing beautiful deserts, and many magical other experiences – I’ve got to say Jordan totally surprised us. From deserts to mountains, forests, and canyons, Jordan is a magnificent splendour. The country is endowed with unique landscapes, historical and archaeological marvels, dazzling rose-red sandstone rock facades, red & dead sea, and amazing beach hotels {with great hospitality}. Driving is easy and one of the best ways to explore this beautiful country. Our Jordan itinerary: Where to go in Jordan? Amman, Petra, Aqaba, and Wadi Rum are must-visits when you are in Jordan. Your trip must include atleast one night in one of the dead sea resorts. Also, if you are planning a trip to Jordan for more than 3 days, getting a Jordan Pass is a good idea (more about it below).

Berlin is a foodies heaven, especially if you are vegan. Its often ranked as one of the most vegan-friendly cities in the world and for good reasons. From vegan restaurants and vegan cafes to vegan fashion stores and vegan supermarkets and even a vegetarian hotel - Berlin has it all!

There's always so much energy in this city and everytime you visit, you'll discover new vegan restaurants and cafes to indulge into. There's no dearth of vegan places in Berlin.

So, drop off your extra bags at a suitcase storage facility in Berlin and head to one of these excellent eateries for a carefree meal and shop at amazing vegan stores thereafter.
