For Immediate Release:

Find out how your used ketchup bottle might become part of your neighbours new fence! Organizers of the Eco Star Award-winning Organic Islands Festival are excited about the sixth annual event which takes place July 10 and 11th at Glendale Gardens. New and innovative products will be showcased at the festival including exhibitors like Syntal Products who take your used plastic and recycle it right here on Vancouver Island into sustainable lumber that has many benefits — beyond being environmentally friendly. It’s even been recently approved for use on organic farms because it’s completely non-toxic.

You can expect the same delicious food, beverage and product sampling, and there are more food vendors than ever — almost 40 exhibitors will be providing fresh, tasty samples with fair trade, herb infused chocolate being one of the new additions along with certified organic vodka made in Pemberton. It’s not only the food and drink at the festival that’s new.

This year attendees will have a chance to test drive the $1 million Fuel Cell demonstration…
