EU flower

Hi guys

Here is the link for the EU flower tourism document for Ireland: click!

This is a great document to promote the EU flower with! Really, we couldn't have asked for a better document to promote the EU flower accomodation in the region with. If you are an EU flowered accomodation, I'd recommend putting a link to it onto your sites.

Earth Hour

This year's Earth Hour takes place between 8pm and 9pm this Saturday March 29th. Earth Hour seeks to
inspire people to take action on climate change by having individuals, businesses and public offices turn off all lights for one hour. Last year, 2.2 million people and 2100 businesses in Sydney turned off their
lights, reducing the city's energy consumption by 10.2%. We hope that you will join us in turning off the lights for Earth Hour 2008. For more information on the event, visit here
and for a very quirky option, see here

greenbox news: focus on profile

We've been busy publicizing our members, and here is some info on that guys:

EU flower news: A special publication has just been produced b
y EU Commission. The focus is the island of Ireland, the Greenbox, Kingfisher trail and the regional EU flowers are the main features of this publication. This new publication was promoted at ITB Berlin - the biggest Tourism Fair in Europe.
We'll put a link on this blog and on our site soon. For now, you can see an earlier EU Flower publication, focusing on the whole EU here: Flowers in Ireland are on page four and five.

Mary Mulvey (CEO) and Jerome O'Loughlin of Ireland Ecotours were on Dave Fanning's drivetime radio show on RTE1 on Thursday. They did a great job representing the Greenbox. Don't worry, if you missed it, you can listen here

We've also featured in other places: A French edition of the Greenbox times, which focused specifically on the Greenbox ecolabel packages has been produced. Already, it has been featured at French tourism trade shows.

We regularly get mentioned on various tourism and consumer websites. Here's an example: go!
