In order to reach 350 ppm—the level we were at in 1988—we’d need to remove 500 billion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere. To hit the pre-industrial mark of 280 ppm, 900 billion tons. If we were to use plants to accomplish this, we would need them to add 138 billion tons and 249 billion tons of biomass, respectively. This is roughly the equivalent to 1.3 and 2.5 Amazon rainforests, respectively, if we count both above and below ground biomass. So, what can we do with all that carbon? As the Amazon analogy implies, growing more forests would do the trick. In the last 10,000 years, the Earth has lost 7.7 million square miles of forest, equal to 2.85 Amazons. So we can exceed our target for atmospheric CO2 removal by returning to the 57% forest coverage of Earth’s habitable surface that we had at the end of the last Ice Age. That was the climate that allowed for the vast expansion of humanity, so that approach holds a lot of appeal. Additionally, the Amazon analogy demonstrates that vast reforested areas can support human civilization beyond simply sucking down CO2. The Amazon itself is a vast food forest filled with edible species that were planted 4,500 years ago by its human occupants, who built a thriving civilization based on the readily available food surrounding them. A contemporary global reforestation initiative should also focus on edible species, thus serving the dual purpose of creating an abundant perennial food source and sequestering CO2. A mature food forest can yield at least 2,100,000 calories per acre with minimal inputs, enough to feed two adults. A stable climate PLUS more free food than all of humanity could possibly eat sounds pretty good. It goes without saying that climate change is not the only ecological catastrophe facing humanity. We have crossed six of nine planetary boundaries, any one of which could spell our doom. A globe-spanning food forest would help address those looming disasters, such as biodiversity loss and biogeochemical flows, as well. But there are challenges to the forestry approach. Environmental conditions have degraded immensely in the last 100 years, and it's possible that not all previously forested areas would now support trees. Some estimates put the possibility of reforestation at half of the 7.7 million square miles lost and argue it would take thousands of years to accomplish. I have doubts about these estimates, but it's important to be cautious. Additionally, the principle of redundancy is crucial in permaculture, and it's not hard to see how it applies here: we would not want to put all our eggs in one basket with the future of life on Earth at stake. So how can we move faster while diversifying our risk?

To Catch a Thief Masterlist / Main Masterlist

Peter POV

Arriving in Wakanda with Ronan and Korath, Peter knew this was going to be an interesting retrieval. Peter preferred working alone, Rule #5: Work by yourself every chance you get, but since no one knew where to start the search The Collector thought it best to send a couple of people with him.

Ronan laid a map of Wakanda on top of the Jeep’s hood and decided the necklace had to be in one of three spots: City of the Dead, Warrior Falls, or Jabari Land. Peter wanted to check out Warrior Falls first since Valkyrie's story happened near water, but he got outvoted. Instead, they went into the City of the Dead because the Trinkets believed if you wanted to protect something keep it close, but Peter disagreed.

As Peter suspected the City of the Dead was a dead end. They wasted a whole day only to come up with purple flowers. Korath drove back out of the city towards Warrior Falls and Peter couldn’t keep the smile off his face. He knew they should have started at the Falls, but they didn’t listen. He wasn’t an idiot he knew what he was doing. Rule #200: Research what you are stealing.

“Peter come in, Peter you there,” you said through his comm. “Sorry new to this...um...cough if you can hear me.” Peter coughed, but it turned into one of those coughing fits. “Calm down, I only needed like a single cough; no needed to cough up a lung.” He continued to cough but couldn’t stop the smirk from appearing on his face.

“Sorry, something in my throat,” he coughed again before taking a sip of water.

“I thought you were dying, guess I was mistaken,” Ronan chuckled, staring out the front windshield as Korath drove through the forest.

“Shut up you Big Turd Blossom,” Peter scoffed. “How far are we out?”

“It shouldn’t be much longer,” Korath chimed in, looking at the GPS.

“You finally get a date with the FBI agent neighbor of yours.”

Peter tried to say something, but Korath interrupted him. “Star-Prince a date?” Korath laughed, slapping his hand against the steering wheel. “Good one, Ronan.”

“Come on man.” Peter rolled his eyes staring back out the window. “I don’t think she’d give me much of a chance anymore anyways,” Peter said softly enough for the comm to pick up.

“Yeah, Pete. Kraglin here. If that was meant for YN, she’s not here. Gamora made her go eat dinner. She hasn’t eaten much since we got to Wakanda. If you ask me, she’s worried about you man.”

Peter breathed a half smile as he stared out the window. With all that’s happened, he was worried about you, too. He hated ignoring you and pretending to be busy when all he was doing was drinking his sorrows away at Trash Panda. You needed time to process everything, and Peter wanted to give it to you. He promised he’d talk to you when this is all over.

“We’re here Star-Crunch!”  Korath said grabbing his gear out of the back of the jeep.

Peter stepped outside the door and stretched making his back crack. “Already?”

“We need to hike the rest of the way and set up camp. Dusk will soon be upon us soon,” Korath stated. Peter tilted his head up seeing blue skies, but he couldn’t see much more with the tree coverage.

Peter moved to the back of the Jeep to grab his gear when he saw Ronan coming out of the trees.  “It’s clear I took care of the guards. Time to move forward,” Ronan mentioned.

“Wait, you killed them?”

“Call it an occupational hazard.”

“Come, let’s get this over with.” Korath walked past them and into the rainforest.

Peter rolled his eyes following behind them carrying his gear. This is why he hated working with the Trinkets, they did whatever they wanted and never had to face the consequences.

“Peter, Peter are you there?” Your voice rang in his ear.

He cracks a half smile at the sound of your voice. “Yeah,” he whispered, rubbing his mouth.

“You’re heading in the right direction. I guess you’re smarter than I pegged you for.” He bit his bottom lip to keep from smiling. His assumption was right the necklace had to be in the falls.

“How much farther is it, gentleman?” Peter asked, stepping over a fallen log.

“We should get there by afternoon tomorrow,” Korath replied, glancing down at his GPS. “But, we have more ground to cover before we reach our camp point?”

“Wow, you have it all figured out already? Rest points, checkpoints, but when are the restroom points?”

“Will you shut up?” Ronan shouted, turning his head towards Peter.

“Will you shut up?” Peter mocked in a whiny voice.

A couple of hours later, they reached their camp point.  Peter pulled his gear out of his bag and set up camp. Ronan started a fire to cook his supper, Korath fiddled with his tablet, and Peter laid on his sleeping bag staring at the stars.

“Peter, I'm going to read this gossip magazine because I know you love them.” He furrowed his brows and stared hard at the night sky. He hated gossip magazines he didn’t understand the point of them. Budging into people’s private lives when they're trying to live their own life. He decided as long as he could listen to your voice he’d be okay with it. “What? This comes as a total shock. Tony Stark and Pepper Potts are having a baby! Oh my god, really? This shit is news nowadays. Yeah, this magazine sucks...moving on.” He let out a quiet chuckle.

“How about them Yankees? Just kidding, I don’t pay attention to football.  Wait, no that’s baseball,” you laughed. “I’m too sleep deprived for this right now.” Peter loved hearing you laugh. He wished he could be with you right now instead of in the middle of the rainforest pursuing a piece of jewelry he didn’t give a shit about.

“In case you’re wondering, I’m on the first watch, so you’re going to have to listen to my annoying voice. Hope your good with that,” you paused, waiting for a response. He coughed and hummed. “Knew you still like me,” you chuckled.

“I think we need to talk about the elephant over the comm. Since you can’t speak without getting killed, I’ll go first.” You took a deep breath. “At first, I didn’t know why you did it.  I thought you were in it for the money or the glory or whatever.  Most people are when it comes to these sort of things, but you weren’t Peter. You had a reason, you did it for family, for your mother, and I understand that. I mean, if I could go back to warn my parents about what was going to happen. I’d do it in a heartbeat.” You stayed quiet for a few minutes, and he continued to stare at the stars.

“I kind of miss you. Is that weird to say? I don’t know, but you’re a good guy, Peter,” you confessed, clearing your throat.  “And I’m sorry if I did anything disconcerting to make you hate me.”

You thought he hated you. Where did that come from? It was the total opposite, Rule #2: Never get close to a cop, but it’s not like he could say anything right now and not get caught. He’d have to let it pass and talk once this all blows over.

“Ahh, sappy moments. Gross, am I right? Sorry,” you laughed awkwardly. “Anyways, I made a playlist cause I know you’re sick of listening to Korath and Ronan. Enjoy the comm tunes!”

He waited as you put the music through.  Right away he heard Faithfully by Journey. He grinned, of course, you would play this song first. He started out singing it quietly which then turned into belting out the chorus.

“Will you shut up? Some people are trying to sleep here,” Ronan shouted, making Peter laugh.

At that moment he didn’t care about anything because over his comm he could hear you giggling.  He was the reason behind it, and he couldn’t stop smiling. He turned his back towards the fire and continued to listen to your playlist until he fell asleep.

They walked in silence for a few hours until they reached the edge of a cliff where a river flowed below them. The Golden City was in the far distance surrounded by miles and miles of trees spreading in all directions. The view was breathtaking, and Peter never thought he’d see anything like this.

“This way,” Korath insinuated, turning to walk upstream as the other men followed behind.

“Peter we need to talk.” Your voice rang into his ear.

“Dudes, I gotta take a leak, do you mind if I---” Peter gestured to his crotch before pointing to the trees.

“Make it quick,” Ronan scoffed, shaking his head.

Peter took off his gear and walked into the forest a good distance away from Ronan and Korath before speaking. “What is it? What’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong. I wanted to give you a heads up at Warrior Falls. Valkyries tunnel is between one of the falls but to get to it you have to stop the water from flowing over the cliffs.”

“How do you reckon we do that?”

“There’s a sensor mechanism in the water like an hourglass funnel. It slows the flow of the water going over the cliffs within a certain diameter when it’s activated. This will make it possible to check the area for tunnels.  Shuri changed the algorithm to make it easier to hack for a normal person as she called it. She thinks Korath can do it given his track record.”

“I thought I wasn’t getting any outside help on this?” He questioned with a humorous grin on his face before taking a wide stance.

“Call it a one-time thing.”

“I’ll take what I can get. Thank you,” Peter sighed in contentment.

“You’re...wait, are you...are you peeing?”

“No,” he lied, zipping his pants back up.

“You’re lying.”

“Well….I wasn’t lying when I said I needed to drain the main vein.”

“Yeah, I didn’t need to hear that. Be safe.”

“You too, sweetheart.”

Peter walked back out of the forest to find Korath scanning the surroundings while Ronan stood there with their arms crossed across his chest. “What crawled up your butt, bro?”

“Lose the tracker.”

“Tracker? What tracker?”

“The one in your purse.”

“It’s not a purse, it’s a knapsack, and there’s no tracker in it.” Peter narrowed his eyes at him.

“Korath found it this morning when it was interfering with his tablet. Who have you been talking too?”

“Wow, searching through other people’s things. Real cool guys, thought we could trust each other.  And no, I haven’t been talking to anyone, I swear.”

“Then who put the tracker on you.”

“Shit, I don’t know, man. My neighbor. She’s gotten pretty suspicious of me, but I didn’t think she would’ve gone this far.” He opened his knapsack to find the small sticker inside. He ripped it off and held it in the air to examine it. “Huh? Well, this is some fancy tech. Am I right boys?” Korath scoffed as Peter threw it over the cliff into the river below. “Happy?”

“Yes. Let’s keep moving,” Ronan concurred, starting to walk upstream.

“Peter, you there? What are you doing? Why are you going down the stream?” You panicked. “If you are floating down that river dead, I will bring you back and kill you myself. Peter, answer me?”

“I’m fine,” he whispered loud enough for you to hear.

“Thank god. You fucking scared me, Peter! Don’t you dare do that again! Shuri’s going to be pissed you threw away her tech. You know this tech doesn’t just grow on trees, right? Scratch that, it might in Wakanda.” He smiled at your concern.

Peter heard pounding water flowing in the distance, and once they curved around the corner his eyes landed on Warrior Falls. Waterfall after waterfall flowed at once on both sides of the stream. One side of the stream had a higher elevation with various cliffs and plateaus creating small pools of standing water before toppling over into the river.  It was really something else.  He couldn’t take his eyes off it until the two men stood there glaring at him.

“Did I miss something?” Peter inquired, walking up to them.

“Last night, Korath narrowed down where the correct tunnel could be. But first, he has to hack into the funnel mechanism to stop the water flow,” Ronan shared.

“I guess it’s time to get kinky with some rope then, am I right fellas?” Peter said, rubbing his hands together with anticipation.

Korath hacked into the mechanism with ease slowing down the water flow over the cliffs. Peter took off his knapsack and started pulling out his climbing equipment. Rule #56: Pack more than what you think you’ll need. He drilled the blot into the stone and strung the cable through it as did Ronan and Korath. They scaled down the slippery cliffs, and after a days worth of searching they came up empty.

Another day was drawing to a close, and he didn’t hear a peep out of YN or the team for the past two days.  He couldn’t hear anything besides the rushing sound of the water, but at least this whole thing was almost over.

Peter moved onto the next cliff but stopped short when something caught his attention down below. He squinted his eyes, but with the sun setting, it was hard to tell what it could be. He continued to scale down until his feet hit a small pool of water on top of it. He unlatched himself from the cable and walked to the small opening in the corner. He called the other two men over before venturing inside.

“Who’s first?” Peter asked, getting no reply. “Okay, guess I’ll go first. Not like I wasn’t the one who found it in the first place, but hey, let’s send the expendable one in first,” Peter mumbled, entering the cave tunnel alone. He shined his flashlight inside only seeing darkness. “Okay, you got this, your Star-Lord. All I have to do is find this necklace, get my mom back, then get the girl. We’ll all live happily ever after like Kevin Bacon.”

Walking through the dark and quiet tunnel, he beamed his flashlight until he stepped into a dim lit room. A language Peter didn’t recognize was written on the walls and skeletons laid on the ground wearing protective gear. A stone pillar sat in the center of the room with grooves carved into the top. This had to be the place he read about. “I thought this place was a myth.”

“A myth, no, this place and the stones are very real,” Ronan stated, coming out of the tunnel with an evil look plastered on his face. “Now, where is the Soul Stone?”

Valkyrie left this cave leaving behind the Soul Stone. If she never returned, it should be on the pillar, but Peter saw no sign of it anywhere. Did she come back after her tribe exiled her? Peter’s eyes wandered around the cave seeing glass bottles, tankards, and goblets laying all over the ground. In every book he read about these stones each one mentioned Valkyries drinking problem. This further proved his theory. She must’ve returned and hid the stone away from those who wouldn’t understand it. Maybe, she didn’t die from drinking but from protecting the stone.

“Quill, any ideas?” Ronan asked as Peter rubbed his forehead continuing to think. “Quill.”

“Valkyrie came back.”

“Who?” Korath asked.

“Come on man, Valkyrie. The badass woman that left her village in search of new aspirations.  The one who found these stones in the first place. She came back for the stone she left behind.”

“Why does that matter?” Ronan questioned, crossing his arms across his chest.

“Well, I think she came back to destroy it but found out she couldn’t, so she stayed here to protect it," Peter answered, resting his hands on his hips.

“Then, what did she do with it?”

“Best guess, she hid it in the walls or buried it somewhere.”

“Let’s search everywhere.”

Peter sat against the wall out of breath. They’ve been at this for hours only to come up with nothing, again. The room was dark with the only light coming from their flashlights. He tried to contact YN’s team, but all he heard was silence. Did his comm unit stop working after all the water activity? And if the Wakandans knew the stone was here, why haven’t they tried to retrieve it?

“Quill, get off your ass and find it. We are running out of sunlight,” Ronan sneered, kicking Peter’s boot.

“We are out of sunlight idiot. It’s pitch black in here.”

“I don’t care. What do you think flashlights are for?”

Peter stood up and patted the dirt off his pants.  He stepped over to the pillar in the center of the room to take a closer look at it. “One, two, three, four, five,” Peter counted, shining his flashlight over the grooves. Then, he counted again. “Did no one think to count the grooves in this thing?” Peter inquired, pointing his flashlight in Ronan and Korath face.

“No, what’s the point? There are six stones so six grooves.” Ronan spoke up.

“Yeah, well I’m not so sure about that because I only count five grooves.”

“What?” Ronan rushed over, pushing Peter out of the way to count them for himself. “We have been searching for a stone that doesn’t exist?”

“Not exactly, it could be a key, you know like all five stones open a door, or hatch of some sort to retrieve the sixth stone. Have neither of you seen a movie?” Ronan and Korth stared at him dumbfounded. “Do either of you have the stones along with you?”

“I’ll make a call to The Collector. Korath, I will need your assistance with the connection.” They leave heading back out the tunnel, and Peter breaks into a dance and starts singing Eye of the Tiger by Survivor.

“Peter, you hear me?” your voice rang statically through his ear making him stop and glance back at the entrance before he answered.

“Yes.”

“Nice dance moves,” you chuckled.

“Thanks! Wait, you can see me?” He asked, shining the flashlight around the room.

“Clear as day. Shuri installed these Ultra HD cameras she invented down there, but trust me, you won’t find them. They’re the size of a thumbtack, and they can camouflage themselves.” He huffed, observing the room with his flashlight again only to find nothing.

“No kidding! Then, this one’s for you, sweetheart.” He started dancing again and shaking his hips forcing a giggle out of you.

“What are you celebrating?”

“The Collector’s coming to Wakanda, and he’s bringing the necklaces with him.” Peter shuffled in place doing the Single Ladies dance. “Then the FBI, being you and the team,--” he pointed to an area on the wall then pointed to a different area before shrugging "--will take his ass down, and sweetheart, that’s worth celebrating.” Rule #1: Never fall in love.

AN: Things are getting deep! Do you think their plan will work out? What kind of trickery do you think Valkyrie created in order to protect the stone? Will it be an easy in and out, or will someone not make it to the end? Find out next week! As always thanks for reading!

What Is Ecotourism why is It Important?

Is Ecotourism yet another 'green' trend? We might say no. So what exactly is ecotourist? Based on the International Ecotourism Society, the ecotourism definition is: "responsible visit natural areas that conserves the planet and increases the well-being of local people."

Ecotourism is dependant on uniting conservation, communities and sustainable travel. There are many guidelines in position for those who partake in ecotourism. Namely, ecotourism: -Focuses on pristine, unspoiled natural environments -Minimizes impact on the environment -Builds environmental and cultural awareness and respect -Provides positive experiences for both visitors and hosts -Provides direct financial benefits for conservation -Provides financial benefits and empowerment for local people -Raises awareness for hosting countries' political, environmental and social climate Now, this may seem like a tall order, however the aim of sustainable travel is a big vision. Given the very real threats of deforestation, a loss of biodiversity, and global climate change, ecotourism is more important than ever. On the other hand, what is NOT ecotourism? Just as important as the question "what is ecotourism" is knowing what it isn't. For example, someone may think about a walk through the rainforest being an ecotourism activity. However this isn't the case unless probably the particular rainforest trail benefits the environment and/or the local community. Some may also think about a rafting trip to be an ecotourism activity; however, this cannot be considered ecotourism unless it raises awareness and/or funds to help protect the watershed. While in doubt, it's best to consider every one of the definition parameters as set forth by The International Ecotourism Society. Ecotourism: Ideas on criticism. Some critics of ecotourism debate that no travel can be eco-friendly considering the large number of fuel/carbon/resources involved with transport. This can be a fair point. However, there's another indicate be made and it's really very simple to comprehend. Here it is: humans are not going to stop traveling. Think about this example: Nobody wants an increase in landfill garbage, but humans are not likely to stop making trash. So we invented recycling as a way to lower the outcome and raise awareness. Similarly, because technology now makes travel accessible to many -- in addition much of the world economy is dependent upon it -- it's simply not realistic to produce a campaign to steer people to travel less. However what we can do is raise understanding of environmental impact, with the importance of preserving nature, as well as the empowerment available through community. Ecotourism: Why is it important? To increase that idea, not only is ecotourism meant to have less environmental impact than traditional tourism, but it also holds the possibility to improve the social, cultural and economic well-being of holiday destinations and local communities across the globe. If we raise awareness of pristine natural environments, shall we be not also creating evangelists for preservation? As we raise awareness of local communities will we not produce a new help for them? There have been a lot of people who declared recycling programs could not work... imagine where we'd be today had we given up on trying. Fortunately, ecotourism appears to be gaining coverage and popularity. In closing, we leave you with this question: If we can shift someone's vacation destination to be oriented around sustainability and education, do we not also create more aware global citizens?

Andrew Zimmern’s Lucky Cricket Is More Than a Controversy. It’s Also a Bad Restaurant.

It’s awkward to enter a restaurant like Lucky Cricket during a moment of controversy: The staff must carry on and do their jobs, knowing that some of their guests might just be rubberneckers hoping to get a glimpse of the place that its co-owner, travel television star Andrew Zimmern, claimed would save the Midwest from bad Chinese food. The ceilings of the dining rooms are decorated like the woven bamboo sides of a Chinese cricket cage, and that night, it felt like an apt touch: We were trapped here, restaurant staff, suburbanites, and media vultures all, trying to dig both meaning and livelihood from a place suddenly overloaded with the wrong kind of fame. On the night I went, the restaurant was three weeks old and chugging along, with Zimmern reportedly popping in once in a while to expedite in the kitchen.

I came to see Zimmern’s vision for the future with my own eyes — to view his secret weapon in the crusade against faux Chinese-American cuisine. To be absolutely clear, the firestorm around his remarks to Fast Company, wherein he said, “I think I’m saving the souls of all the people from having to dine at these horseshit restaurants masquerading as Chinese food that are in the Midwest,” was never a conversation about whether a white man could cook Chinese. (Of course people can cook whatever they want — relax.) It was about the strange idea that the food-court Chinese joints of the nation were a problem that needed fixing in the first place. That we the people have been duped by orange chicken and crab rangoon, and he, the world traveler and gourmand, would release us from our ignorance. In the fallout from Zimmern’s remarks, an essay I wrote in 2013 on cultural appropriation was quoted by Eater’s early coverage; writers of subsequent stories asked me for meatier quotes, and I obliged. For my trouble, I got an anonymous call on my cellphone from an earnest Zimmern stan, which made me want to go to Lucky Cricket even more.

Lucky Cricket is ostensibly our escape vessel from the tyranny of shopping-mall cashew chicken — so what does it look like? It looks dark and full of logos, a jumble of confusing signifiers. Adorned with a palm-thatched roof and giant Tiki faces with slushie machines in their mouths, the bar screams, “Rainforest Cafe but also Margaritaville.” Its tables’ surfaces feature iconic exotica album covers, celebrating an American musical genre famous for mixing the sounds of kotos, bongos, and gongs into a pan-Pacific pastiche of sound. That room was the first red flag.

If Lucky Cricket is meant to show us “real” Chinese cuisine, why is there a heavy Tiki element here? The Tiki aesthetic itself is mired in illusion, an invention of post-World War II Hollywood. You get the sense, being there, that you’re in a Disneyfied vision of the East. You see a Thai tuk-tuk (which of course you can sit in), photos of Asian marketplaces so generic it’s hard to place them, and posters that say “HAWAII,” while tucking into a plate of hand-torn noodles inspired by the cuisine of China’s central plateau. If this restaurant were a piece of writing, an editor would call it a “centaur”: two distinct organisms slapped together in an uncanny mess.

By the host station, there was already a wall of merch: T-shirts saying “Get lucky” awkwardly machine-translated into Chinese characters (a point of pride for Zimmern in the Fast Company interview) and a collection of kitschy Tiki mugs. Regardless of any complaints one might have about the rest of the restaurant’s authenticity, at least we know the mugs were manufactured in China. A private party space in the back, with sparse but blood-red decor, was labeled “Kung Food Room.”

In his remarks to Fast Company, Zimmern revealed that the goal of Lucky Cricket, aside from its own propagation as a nationwide chain, is to educate the Midwestern consumer and share the Chinese flavors and refinement that he experienced on his own culinary journey. The menu, he said, would feature his “favorites from around China.” Considering all of the bombast surrounding this opening, I at least expected the food to be decent, to be forced to admit that, yes, it was at least better than PF Chang’s, or even better than the Leeann Chin — Minnesota’s own Chinese-American chain — across the street. Yet the short menu felt incredibly watered down, and there was something fundamentally off about the execution of the majority of the items my group tried.

Top left: Stony’s Flyhead lettuce wraps. Top right: Soy sauce noodles. Bottom: Soy sauce noodles; Hong Kong waffles and Shanghai fried chicken; sheng jian bao; roast duck at Lucky Cricket.

The dan dan noodles were perhaps the most disappointing item we ordered. The flat egg noodles were a strange improvisation from the thin and cylindrical ones that a diner would normally see in this dish — are Midwesterners not used to spaghetti? To make matters more dire, the noodles were overdone to an Easy Mac consistency. The ground pork topping, meant to carry tang from pickled greens and numbing spice from ground Sichuan peppers, tasted like microwaved, airline economy-class breakfast sausage and was bereft of moisture. If we evaluate Zimmern in his self-appointed role as an educator, he has failed to introduce the dish properly.

Another basic item, the fried rice, was minimally and unevenly seasoned, absent of any crisp or wok-induced char. Even the bits of char siu, which one would normally expect to contribute some flavor, were tasteless. The dish required more than a little dousing with soy sauce and chile oil, provided to the table in Lucky Cricket-branded bottles. (The typeface may look familiar to fans of the late food magazine Lucky Peach.) More compelling were the Stony’s Flyhead lettuce wraps with ground pork, tofu, and loads of chopped garlic chives and an eggplant duo, one portion deep-fried and the other glazed with soy sauce and chiles. Both dishes were openly borrowed from other Chinese restaurants: Happy Stony Noodle in Queens, New York, and Peter Chang Cafe in Glen Allen, Virginia.

That the kitchen’s interpretation of the basics of Chinese meals — noodles and rice — were remarkably deficient is telling: So much went into the over-the-top aesthetic of the place, yet the details, those nuances that would supposedly shame every Panda Express cook in the nation, were actually worse for the wear. If Zimmern hadn’t set expectations so high on the realness scale, perhaps one would have forgiven the kitchen for its mishandling of building-block Chinese dishes. But if you can’t do noodles and rice, maybe try barking up someone else’s tree.

According to his Instagram, Zimmern occasionally checks in on the restaurant, though surely he’s not the one sending out those plates (nor would anyone reasonably expect him to). But if he were, perhaps that would be even more troubling, considering his claims of expertise. What Zimmern said during his video interview with Fast Company clarified for many what his intentions for the restaurant, for which he is a business partner, would be. And it’s not appreciation for the countless Chinese-American restaurateurs and cooks who adapted their cuisines to meet American palates where they were. Those pioneers did this for the sakes of their livelihoods and families, working day and night hawking General Tso’s chicken and sweet-and-sour pork so their kids could go to college. It’s hard to watch a well-resourced and connected outsider like Zimmern denigrate their contributions to American food culture while intending to profit off of the same.

Call me optimistic or naive, but I don’t think that the diners of Middle America, an increasingly diverse and worldly bunch, would be satisfied with an experience that is actually worse than food-court Chinese — as if a few aesthetic distractions like giant Tiki faces and Google-translated Chinese would make the experience feel more “real,” whatever that means. It’s hard to leave the restaurant with a strong impression of what it wants from you: It carries kitschy, mildly racist irony in one hand, and an argument for its own expertise in the other. That said, the vision of authenticity that Zimmern and his partners are peddling here exists in tension with a clear desire to filter it out of fear that Middle America can’t handle the good shit. And say what you will about Panda Express, but at least the fried rice is seasoned there.

Scuba Diving in Papua New Guinea

Truly one of the last frontiers, Papua New Guinea is a wild and adventurous place with much to see both above and below the water. Scuba diving in Papua New Guinea is not to be missed.

Plane wreck in Kavieng Harbor.

  Where is Papua New Guinea?

More commonly known as PNG, the country was formerly an Australian colony, gaining full independence in 1975. Physically located north of Australia on the eastern half of the huge island of New Guinea (the western half is the Indonesian province of West Papua, the location of Raja Ampat), and firmly in the center of the Coral Triangle, PNG is part of the world’s most biodiverse marine area. Scuba diving in Papua New Guinea is therefore some of the best in the world.

PNG has a population of around 8 million people, but over 850 languages make it one of the world’s most diverse countries. PNG represents a huge patchwork quilt of over 1,000 traditional societies and ethnic indigenous groups.

The scuba diving in Papua New Guinea is best suited to the adventurous traveler who wants to experience some of the best the Coral Triangle has to offer, together with a collection of WWII wrecks. This remote location also offers the chance to immerse yourself into traditional tribal cultures as well.

  Getting There and Around

Papua New Guinea has one international airport in Port Moresby, the nation’s capital city. It has what you might call a bit of an image problem. The national carrier is Air Nuigini, which flies to Australia, Singapore, Manila, Hong Kong, Bali and Tokyo.

PNG is a big country, roughly the size of California when all the island provinces are included. It’s quite rugged and mountainous with a very limited (non-existent in many places) road system as well. Realistically, there are only two ways to get around. Either you fly — preferred but expensive — or you travel the local way, by ferry, which is not for the faint of heart.

Main Dive Locations

You can divide the scuba diving in Papua New Guinea into a few key locations, with long-established operations in place. These offer a wide range of underwater experiences that we’ll delve into in future articles. But for now, a quick overview:

  Port Moresby

Port Moresby

Contrary to what you might expect around a busy city, there is some excellent diving in and around Port Moresby. You’ll find some superb reefs along with ship and aircraft wrecks.

Milne Bay

Milne Bay

Located at the southeastern tip of the main island of New Guinea, Milne Bay put PNG on the discerning international diver’s bucket list. Simply stated, Milne Bay offers some incredible diving. Many sites in the huge bay’s northern area accessible from Tawali Dive Resort. You’ll have to join a liveaboard to see the rest of Milne Bay.

Tufi

One of New Guinea’s most beautiful spots, Tufi sits on the northeast coast of the island. Picture the fjords of Norway or New Zealand, but covered in dense rainforest that reaches to the water’s edge. Then throw in some amazing critter diving and dozens of pristine offshore reefs, only dived by the guests at Tufi Dive Resort.

New Britain

The island province of New Britain is so large and mountainous that it boasts two weather systems. Patterns on the more-developed north coast are opposite those on the remote south coast. Diving on the north coast centers around the incredibly biodiverse Kimbe Bay and the WWII wrecks of Rabaul. Walindi Resort and liveaboard MV FeBrina have you covered in Kimbe Bay. On the south coast, you will experience even more remote reefs, rarely dived at all.

New Ireland

New Ireland

At the eastern edge of Papua New Guinea is the island of New Ireland and its close neighbor New Hanover. Here you’ll find many diveable WWII aircraft and shipwrecks. Add in the big fish that gather in the area due to the rich currents that sweep around the main town of Kavieng and you have some tremendous diving.

   Is Papua New Guinea safe?

PNG suffers from terrible press, particularly in Australia because of the number of expats who work in the country’s large resources sector. Unfortunately, the tabloids like nothing more than to hype up an incident.

The basic law-and-order problem stems from the Raskol gangs in Port Moresby. The vast majority of the PNG population lives outside the towns, in small villages where life is very much subsistence- and community-based. Here, the land and the sea provide most of what people need to survive.

Locals purchase luxuries like soap, cooking oil and kerosene for lighting with money earned from selling excess produce at local markets. The lucky few who have access to tourists sell handicrafts as well. Young men often leave their villages to try and make it in Port Moresby. But, lacking any real job skills, they either return home or join one of the gangs that survive through petty crime.

Talk to any expat in Port Moresby and they will have had, or know of, a “near-death” brush with a Raskol or two. But the fact is that crime against foreigners is usually very opportunistic. Such crimes are highly visible and result in a violent and often ex-judicial response from the police, whereas violent crimes against Port Moresby locals sadly rarely produces an adequate response.

As a visitor to Papua New Guinea, the best way to stay completely safe in Port Moresby is to stay cocooned in your hotel and not venture out at all. It’s a bit extreme, but exactly what I did the first time I stayed there. All the main hotels offer airport pick-up and drop-off, so you will be able to safely transit and then just hunker down.

Alternatively, if you want to see a bit of Port Moresby (to be covered in the next article) then arrange a tour with your hotel. The drivers know where they can and cannot take you safely, plus they can spot a Raskol from a great distance.

Should You Visit Papua New Guinea?

A visit to PNG is best undertaken by those who seek something different. It’s all about managing the risks and the upside is tremendous. Decide which location is right for you (our upcoming articles will help narrow it down), then plan your flights accordingly to minimize your time in Port Moresby.

If you’re planning on diving near the capital city, breaking up your journey and diving Port Moresby either at the beginning or end of a trip to PNG is a viable option.

There’s currently only one option for diving the area, also to be covered in greater detail in our next article. The Dive Center operates out of the Airways Hotel and is a short drive from the airport.

The other option would mean staying out in Bootless Bay at the Loloata Dive Resort, but its new owners have closed it for renovations, and it is not certain that it will offer diving when it does re-open.

Most flights from Australia arrive in Moresby just after lunch and you should be able to catch a connecting flight to your resort that afternoon. It’s a short, safe walk from the international terminal to the domestic one. Once you arrive at your final destination, you will be in the safe and experienced hands of the local operator, who will meet you at the airport.

If you can’t get a same-day connecting flight, book one of the main hotels in Port Moresby. They’ll pick you up at the airport and take you safely back the next day. Stay tuned for more in-depth coverage of all the best scuba diving in Papua New Guinea, starting with Port Moresby.
