April 22, 1970. The first Earth Day.Founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson ofWisconsin to raise environmentalconsciousness.

Wisconsinites continue to dig in to theEarth Day tenets of preserving theenvironment and enhancing our quality of life.

That brings us to the notion of an eco-friendly vacation, a concept the WisconsinDepartment of Tourism pioneered when itlaunched Travel Green Wisconsin™ in2006. Travel Green was the firstcertification program in the country thatwent beyond accommodations to includetourism businesses of all sorts-events,attractions, restaurants, and everything inbetween.

So if leaving a lighter footprint is importantto you, then consider patronizing thehundreds of Travel Green WisconsinTM

certified businesses when visiting. Visit travelwisconsin.com for a listing.

To summarize: Go green. Have fun. Rest easy.
