Eaglewood Resort & Spa here was recently awarded a Green Seal certification.
The Green Seal program includes nearly three dozen environmentally responsible criteria for lodging properties. As part of the certification process, the property underwent an audit fulfilling detailed requirements in all areas of the resort.
Eaglewood estimates that through recycling efforts accomplished in the second and third quarters of 2009, it saved: 33.6 tons of cardboard/paper; 126 yards of landfill space; 573 trees; 235,970 gallons of water; and 809 gallons of gasoline. Other aspects of the process included waste minimization, energy efficiency implementation and environmentally and socially sensitive purchasing.
