Good Morning! We recently celebrated Virgin Islands History Month in March. Let’s take a moment to turn our attention to Charlotte Amalie, a town steeped in history and culture yet often overlooked amidst the hustle and bustle of modern travel and festivities. If you’ve vacationed in St. John, you might have flown into the Cyril E. King Airport in Charlotte Amalie West, and drove through St. Thomas’ capital city, which is the largest city in the US Virgin Islands. Here is the brief history of Charlotte Amalie and how it got its name.

Good Morning, Good Morning!  Earth Day is right around the corner. And with it comes cause for celebrating this absolutely breathtaking place we call home (or your favorite home away!):  St. John.  This year, a non-profit that is absolutely dedicated to preserving that natural beauty via unique approaches to expanding sustainability efforts in the Virgin Islands is celebrating their twentieth anniversary.  It inspires residents and visitors to think in terms of “Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle,” while also making it easier for us to do so here on St. John.  In 2024, Island Green Living celebrates twenty years of a commitment to keeping the Virgin Islands beautiful and vibrant for generations to come.  And you can help them continue their good work while also taking a chance at winning a trip to Love City for two, valued at $11,000!

With its fair share of restaurants, lack of public receptacles, and a flourishing tourism industry, the streets of Cruz Bay are often littered with discarded trash. In Coral Bay, debris from the local boating and fishing industry can be seen in a tangled web along the shoreline. And while this can be discouraging, one resident decided to take action and in 2015, Erin Lieb founded Get Trashed, a volunteer group dedicated to picking up debris around the island.

By gaining popularity over the years and occasionally partnering with local nonprofits such as Island Green Living and Friends of the Virgin Islands National Park, Get Trashed has made a significant impact by keeping St. John litter free.
