that has many eco-features. With electric car-charge stations,
full recycling practices, solar rooftop panels,
reclaimed water irrigation, and staff bicycles!
Cool!
If you ever wondered if it mattered to
put the effort into eco-practices,
the results of the committment of these
hotels proves the point that is very much is worth it:
record amounts of water and energy resources saved
and waste products recycled!
The Umstead saved one million gallons of water
last year, recycling is up 15 percent,
and their in-house 5-star restaurant
uses up to 80 percent locally sourced ingredients,
with 28,000 pounds of bio-waste
sent to compost last year.
Devils' Thumb Ranch, Tabernash, Colorado - The owners of
this stunning 6,000 acre property are so committed to
sustainable practices, they've won an EPA Award.
Bravo!
of the 2014 Green Spa Awards:
their outstanding Sustainable practices.
