Living Green

Great Wolf Lodge Goes Green

If you're an environmentalist, you'll appreciate perhaps the efforts of the Great Wolf Lodge which announced it is the first and only national hotel chain to be Green Seal certified.(www.greenseal.org)

 

To receive the Green Seal distinction the lodge implemented a plan that called Project Green Wolf.

 

To some, it may be amazing to think that a chain of indoor waterparks can be green, but over the last year, Great Wolf Resorts managers examined nearly every facet of their operations and made changes.

 

·         Water Reclamation: We have the best sanitation and filtration system technology in the world, making it possible to recycle most of the water in the waterpark every day.

·         Waste Minimization: Co-mingled recycling bins are stationed in all public areas, guest rooms, and employee areas.

  • Energy Efficiency: Our lighting uses only energy-efficient bulbs.
  • Environmentally & Socially Sensitive Purchasing: We only work with suppliers who help us be environmentally sensitive in our purchasing.
  • Guest Education: We have developed children’s environmental entertainment and enlightenment programs with our partners at National Geographic Kids, including activity and learning areas, a Green Wolf TV channel, and interactive web content.
