Going on a trip soon? Remember to be respectful! As tourism and travel swells again, so do concerns for the environment and the irreplaceable tourist destinations we love so much. Here’s what else you need to know to Start Your Week Smart.

The weekend that was

The week ahead

Monday is Labor Day in the US (and Independence Day in Brazil), but there’s still work to be done. Brexit Trade negotiations between the UK and the European Union start back up this week, and a few deadlines loom: The first agreements between the two sides are supposed to be agreed upon by the time the October European Council meets. The final deadline is December 31 — a cutoff negotiators don’t think they’re going to meet.

It’s back to school for a lot of kids in the US on Tuesday. Major school systems in Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Baltimore, Charleston and the DC-Maryland-Virginia area go back, either in person or virtually. Will this mean another round of controversy over coronavirus precautions? Time will tell.

The US Senate also reconvenes on Tuesday, and will be digging in for another round of contentious coronavirus stimulus negotiations.

World Suicide Prevention Day is Thursday. Here are resources if you or someone you know needs support.

Friday marks two solemn milestones: It’s the 19-year anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, and the 6-month anniversary of the World Health Organization declaring the novel coronavirus a pandemic.
