Maine tourism businesses recognize the importance of protecting our state’s natural resources. It is these very resources that make Maine an attractive vacation destination for millions of travelers each year.
A number of conservation minded Maine businesses have been certified by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection as Environmental Leaders by implementing programs to:
- Reduce energy
- Conserve water
- Minimize waste
- Use environmentally preferable cleaners
- And educate the public and their customers on reducing environmental impact
Participating Maine green lodging properties all post the Environmental Leader flag at their places of business.
