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.
