We had a very busy year completing many projects here
at Tunnel Mountain Resort. As always, we put our environmental
footprint foremost in our decision and planning process.
We are very pleased to report that in 2011 we have completed
projects with the following investments in products that
will assist us in diminishing our long term effect on
our environment:
39 high efficiency patio windows and doors
$78000.00
78 high efficiency bedroom windows
$24000.00
1 on demand hot water heater
$2800.00
14 high efficiency furnaces
$14000.00
67 energy efficient LCD t.v.’s
$34000.00
Automated Pool Chlorination System
$5000.00
71 Organic Kitchen Waste Bins
$500.00
145 In Room Recycling Bins
$1500.00
We are now using Eco Sciences Amenities!
We have switched all our in room amenities to the Eco Sciences brand. Without compromising quality,
these amenities (including packaging) are 100% biodegradable within 9 months
Waste Diversion
Further emphasizing our commitment to the environment
we have invested in a waste diversion program. This program
has allowed us to decrease our waste (garbage) which is
directly hauled to the land fill site by 30%. This has
been accomplished by training and investment in separation
techniques and implementation of a company standard in
sorting waste items. We encourage all our guests to join
us in this ever expanding program.
