Translation: it\u2019s super sustainable, and will be the first fully organic nation by 2020. There are no traffic lights, smoking is illegal, and you can\u2019t hunt or fish unless you\u2019re releasing your catch. Watch and learn. And while you\u2019re there, wander through the mountains sans litter or environmental garbage.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Wisconsin<br \/>\n<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-77093\" src=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/wisconsin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"604\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/wisconsin.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/wisconsin-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/wisconsin-768x464.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/wisconsin-600x362.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.orbitz.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/wisconsin-563x340.jpg 563w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Wisconsin of all places is breaking out of its beer, cheese and waterpark mold.
