I'm pleased to introduce the second Eco-Innovators video, Green Island Getaway, by Halifax filmmaker Kevin Moynihan, featuring Travis and Alan Burland.
There are great ways to vacation within our own region, and this is one
of them. The project also shows that small, low energy living is a
beautiful thing. Please share this, my friends.
