3ECOBEES TAKE OFF

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

From 24 - 27 July, the ‘3Ecobees’ presented itself for the first time to the public during the environmental fair in Olhão (Portugal). Since June 2008, Ambiendura together with Chama Inc., has joined forces to initiate projects within the field of eco-lifestyle, sustainable tourism and eco-investments.

Visitors of the fair could taste some delicious food made from organic ingredients and enjoy the only biological wine the Algarve knows. By participating in the 3Ecobees ‘Eco Bingo’, people could win a bag full with environmentally friendly products, such as detergents from the Ecover line and soaps from Essência do Mundo. As a special price, we were able to offer the winners of the Eco Bingo a voucher to the Eco hotel ‘Quinta da Fornalha’ in Castro Marim (Portugal).   

3EcoBees standThe persons behind 3EcoBees (Nancy Isarin, Eddie Correia and Moses Mehraban) also met with touroperators from Germany and Spain to exchange ideas regarding eco-tourism and activities in the Algarve.

Based on the positive responses the ‘3EcoBees’ have received and the many interested people and companies we have met, we feel that we are on the right way. Stay informed of our activities via the official 3EcoBees blog.
