LET YOUR<br />

(ECO) CONSCIENCE<br />

IN WISCONSIN<br />

April 22, 1970. The first Earth Day.<br />

Founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Wisconsin</strong> to raise environmental<br />

consciousness.<br />

<strong>Wisconsin</strong>ites continue to dig in to the<br />

Earth Day tenets <strong>of</strong> preserving the<br />

environment and enhancing our quality<br />

<strong>of</strong> life.<br />

That brings us to the notion <strong>of</strong> an ec<strong>of</strong>riendly<br />

vacation, a concept the <strong>Wisconsin</strong><br />

<strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Tourism</strong> pioneered when it<br />

launched Travel Green <strong>Wisconsin</strong> in<br />

2006. Travel Green was the first<br />

certification program in the country that<br />

went beyond accommodations to include<br />

tourism businesses <strong>of</strong> all sorts – events,<br />

attractions, restaurants, and everything in<br />

between.<br />

So if leaving a lighter footprint is important<br />

to you, then consider patronizing the<br />

hundreds <strong>of</strong> Travel Green <strong>Wisconsin</strong> TM<br />

certified businesses when visiting.<br />

Visit travelwisconsin.com for a listing.<br />

To summarize: Go green. Have fun.<br />

Rest easy.
