Canadian Winters, Cuban Sun

Many Canadians travel to Cuba to escape our cold winters for a while. But don't just waste your time on the beaches. Learn about Cuba, especially its ecological initiatives. Make up for your flight footprint by bringing back knowledge and support for Cuba.

Cuba Education Tours provides knowledgeable and ethical approaches to Cuban Tourism. Read Green Cuba Resources on their website and book a tour or just find out more about Cuban tourism before you go.

You may also want to keep an eye open for David Suzuki's documetary Cuba: The Accidental Revolution that examines Cuba's success in providing for itself in the face of a massive economic crisis, and how its latest revolutions -- an agricultural revolution and a revolution in science and medicine -- are having repercussions around the world.

 "Anyone interested in ecologically sustainable development...will find this documentary thought provoking." Gregory Biniowsky, Canadian Development and the Environment Consultant living in Cuba.
