Carson Ridge’s Green Program currently includes:
- Member of the “I Stay Green” hotels program.
- A recycling program for the entire property, with blue boxes in all cabins to encourage guests to recycle and remind them of the importance of recycling. Presently there isn’t a recycling program in the Carson area, so the items disposed of in the blue boxes are sorted into recyclable categories and delivered to the nearest recycle depot.
- The cabins’ complimentary bottles of water have been replaced with reusable glass bottles, along with reusable PCB-free plastic water bottles for hiking and touring around.
- Disposable coffee cups have been replaced with re-usable to-go mugs so you can still have your coffee on the road, but not harm the environment.
- A towel re-use program is in place so only towels that require washing will be replaced, thus reducing both water and energy consumption.
- Environmentally-friendly bathroom amenities.
- Keeping our windows open, rather than running the air conditioning. Fresh air is much healthier than the stale air of a closed room.
- Using energy-efficient lighting, appliances, insulation, weather stripping, and turning off lights and appliances when not in use.
- Replacing worn-out appliances and equipment with more energy-efficient models.
- Using on-demand water heaters so electricity is not wasted keeping a water tank heated.
- Solar lit pathways.
- Low maintenance gardens that require minimum watering.
- Local and seasonal food in our kitchen. Apples, pears, black berries, and plums are grown organically on the property, while other fruits and produce are obtained from local growers.
- Creating partnerships with other organizations that have demonstrated a commitment to preserving the environment.
- Utilizing environmentally-responsible building materials and strategies for new properties and renovations to reduce environmental impact.
