One small step for being green

You may wonder what we mean by being an environmentally friendly cabin.  We are making changes for the good, thinking about the next generation.  It's from the products we choose to the behaviors we reward to the non-profit environmental programs we support.  Every little step can have a big impact.

Did you know if every American replaced just one traditional incandescent lightbulb with a compact flourescent lightbulb we would prevent greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 800,000 cars?!?!  According to the US Department of Energy, lighting in the US accounts for 22% of electrical consumption. 

Out with the old

In with the new
So we replaced the incandescent bulbs with CFL bulbs, knowing they consume 3.9 times less energy than the incandescent bulbs.  One small step today.  And when LED lights launch, I'm sure we'll make another move for green.  What actions do you think hotels and cabins should make to help save the environment?
