You may already eat organic and incorporate green living tips in your day-to-day life, but have you ever considered extending your sustainable living mindset to your vacations? Bruce Poon Tip, founder of G Adventures and Planeterra, will be discussing the Future of Tourism at the Green Living Show at the Direct Energy Centre on Saturday, April 13, 2013 and whether tourism can impact global communities in positive ways. G Adventures offers customers the opportunity to explore tourist destinations very affordably staying in rented homes or smaller accommodations and supporting local businesses and transportation. Some trips include participation in local eco-tourism projects. Planeterra, a non profit organization, funds projects that create social or environmental improvements in the travel destinations G Adventures visits.

Love your site, it’s full of interesting things. Never realized that so many people would attend an event on organic foods, perhaps their is hope for more people to develop a healthy lifestyle
Hi Mike, Thanks! Yes, there is a fairly substantial green/organic living movement in Toronto to support these types of events. I agree…hopefully more people get on board! Lori
