		<description><![CDATA[Tourism Vancouver Island wants to know how you are celebrating Earth Day this year! And remember, Earth Day is not necessarily about &#8220;global warming&#8221; or being &#8220;green&#8221;. Earth Day is rather a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth&#8217;s environment, which of course also is your one and only home planet. And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As noted in a previous post, Tourism Vancouver Island has implemented a mixed recycling program. But we&#8217;ve also taken that a step further and for over half a year now we have been composting as well.

		<description><![CDATA[We have been keeping track of the types of office supplies we use, and the amount of financial difference small changes would make; it is pretty surprising. Since implementing our Green Initiatives at Tourism Vancouver Island, I have been trying to reduce the amount of paper used in our Brochure Distribution Program. I took it [...]]]></description>
