Living Green – Eco Living By Design

Eco tourism is for ecologically and socially conscious individuals and often focuses on volunteering, personal growth, and learning new ways to live on the planet. For those who delve into exploring and understanding the environment around them, it gives us insight into the impacts we have as human beings, and greater appreciation of our natural habitats. Responsible eco tourism includes programs that minimize the negative aspects of conventional tourism on the environment and promote recycling, energy efficiency and conservation. In this section we highlight some exceptional eco tourism opportunities.

WWOOFing is about travel and learning and making a differance! WWOOF stands for World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. It is a group of organizations that works together as a team to help people gain more knowledge of ways to develop an improved sustainable way of living. The organization began in 1971 in the United Kingdom. Since then, they have expanded their team to over 100 countries across the world. There are now over 900 farm hosts across Canada and becoming a volunteer on Organic Farms is a way to learn about WWOOF and how to develop your own sustainable living practices.
