HOMER, AK - The Kenai Peninsula Borough has awarded Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge the coveted "Green Star Award". To earn this award, the staff had to demonstrate their commitment to environmental responsibility by recycling, reducing waste, and reducing energy use at their facility.

Even though recycling is somewhat of a challenge at the Lodge because of the remote location, several materials are separated from their small waste stream and either reused on site or taken across the bay to Homer for recycling. Additionally, the Lodge is run completely on a non-polluting alternative energy system of wind and hydro-power which supplies the entire grounds with energy to spare. The lodge is, and will remain, off the grid and is completely self-supporting without polluting.

Also, Natural Home magazine has just declared Sadie Cove Wilderness Lodge one of the top 10 eco-destinations in North America along with the lodge at Yosemite Park and others. This was in their January 2005 issue.
