Going Green in Vacationland

Green is more than the color of money. The new green is earth-friendly , eco-conscious and signifies that you care about the envirornment. Green businesses care about the planet (Mother Earth) and are taking pro-active measures. You - as a Mainer or a visitor to Maine - can do your part by seeking out eco-friendly businesses and Maine green lodging accommodations.

What is Maine Green Lodging?

The basic premise is that Green Hotels and Green Inns are taking action to help save energy and minimize their carbon footprint on Mother Earth. Not all Green Hotel and Green Inns practice green living equally. Some lodging properties are more commited than others. Many are part of a green state or national organization but many businesses that follow green lodging practice simply do it out of respect for the environment and as a responsible way to help trim costs and contribute to a worthwhile cause.

Some of the more common green lodging practices include;

Using all flourescent and LED lighting
