New requirements are protecting national parks — and making them both easier and less crowded to visit
National parks around the country have seen record visitation numbers in recent years, resulting in unprecedented overcrowding (which puts an added strain on the parks).
In response, the National Park Service is taking steps to protect the parks, manage traffic flow, and prevent them from being overwhelmed by numbers they can’t accommodate.
Most notably, several of the most-visited parks have implemented permit systems, which require visitors to make advance reservations to enter. While some critics argue that the permit system will make it more difficult for visitors to experience the parks, most permit requirements only apply during peak visitation season.
The ball-park isn’t the only place to look for home runs. Best Buy has a proven record of placing early bets on home-tech products that go on to dominate the market.
Ring - acquired by Amazon for $1.2B
Nest - acquired by Google for $3.2B
Early investors in these companies are sitting on some serious returns - but for the rest of us, there's still a chance to get in on the action with RYSE. History tends to repeat itself, and RYSE's launch in +100 Best Buys points towards their company being the next home run.
Their Smart Shade tech is poised to dominate an industry growing at 50% annually, and there's still time to invest in their $1.50/share public offering.
To help alleviate their water crisis, a rail worker coordinated sending thousands of gallons of drinking water to the Navajo Nation by train every month
After getting laid off from his “dream job” of 25 years in the railroad industry, Andrew Halter pivoted to act on another dream of his alongside his brother, who runs a school on the Navajo Nation reservation.
After witnessing the ongoing water crisis on the reservation — nearly one-third of Navajo Nation residents don’t have access to reliable, clean drinking water — Halter and his brother envisioned using rail to shuttle in clean water for the people living there.
Trucks had already been delivering water to a small portion of the families in need, and they each received about 40 gallons per day (the average American family uses 300 gallons per day).
Halter knew operations needed to scale up — and now his company, Jacob’s Well delivers thousands of gallons of water every month from the Mississippi via the BNSF Railway.
Halter is now working to bring more water to more reservations where reservoirs and water supplies are drying up.
