Adirondack Holiday Joins Carbonfund.org's CarbonFree Program
Mountain Vacation Lodge Providing Eco-Friendly Vacation Experience
(CSRwire) WILMINGTON, NY - December 12, 2007 – Adirondack Holiday and AdirondackWildlife.org
today announced that it has offset
its carbon emissions with Carbonfund.org, the country's leading carbon
offset organization.
Adirondack Holiday is reducing carbon emissions not only by supporting reforestation
projects, but by measures such as transitioning to compact fluorescent
light bulbs, using proper insulation, and walking or biking when possible.
In addition, the AdirondackWildlife.org
Web site emphasizes habitat awareness through its trail guides and hiking
suggestions, as it continues to promote knowledge of the natural world.
This commitment places Adirondack Holiday as an environmental leader in
the Whiteface, NY community and demonstrates proactive steps being taken
in the fight against global climate change. Planet earth is not a
commodity; it is an intricate masterpiece which must be revitalized.
"Many people are concerned with reducing and offsetting in their daily
lives, but what about when vacation time rolls around?" Carbonfund.org
Executive Director Eric Carlson said. "Adirondack Holiday has shown real
leadership by offsetting its emissions. Now its guests can enjoy all the
natural beauty the Adirondacks are famous for and feel good about it,
too."
About Adirondack Holiday
Our organization was created as a single rental property on 60 acres of
forest abutting the river with wetlands, home to a great variety of
wildlilfe. It expanded into an organization after we decided to open our
land to the public, including an interpretive nature trail. In May, 2007,
we inaugurated an annual non-profit Habitat Awareness Day for the northern
Adirondack region with the intention of enhancing public awareness to the
conservation issues of the region and the world. Our plans for the
immediate future include a wildlife rehabilitation center, where
non-releasable raptors will be used to illustrate the urgency of these
issues. Learn more by visiting www.adirondackholiday.com
