ENVIRONMENTAL INNITIATIVES

Living in the high desert of the Southwest, we have rapidly become aware of our impact on the environment and have worked to find ways to reduce that impact. Here are a few of the ways we are working to reduce our impact on the environment and to help make our one wonderful planet a better place for all creatures and life to live:

• Weekly recycling of plastics, aluminum, glass and paper
• Composting of all appropriate kitchen material
• Solar powered outdoor lighting (with the exception of safety related lights)
• Light sensitive, motion activated safety lights (are on only when dark and when people present)
• Organic gardening to produce on site as much produce as possible for our use
• Low flow toilets in all bathrooms
• Rain water collection system (water used for watering plants and flowers)
• Highest level of insulation on hot tub cover
• Low emission/high fuel efficient vehicle (Toyota Prius Hybrid) used for all business transportation needs
• Refillable shampoo/conditioner/bath soap dispensers (filled with high quality moisturizing products) – eliminates excessive waste of individual plastic bottles and their contents
• Rechargeable batteries used when possible
• Timers for internal common area lights
• Email confirmations and E-Brochures to reduce amount of paper products used
• Front loading, low water use washing machine used for all laundry
