Today the Arizona Office of Tourism announced that they are creating a 15 member council to determine how the state might get the tourism industry to go green. The council is going to be made up of members from the business community, government officials, and executives from the tourism industry. Plans are for the council to meet quarterly for a couple of years in order to create a path to guide Arizona towards a more sustainable future.
Did you know that certifications can be earned for eco-friendly lodging, buildings and organizations? As a consumer, it’s worth checking out. One such example is the non-profit Green Seal organization. Why not utiize products, services, etc., that make an effort towards sustaninability?
Bottom line? Horray for the addition of another Arizona state Agency to recognize the need to green the state. After all, Arizona tourism is largely made up of our natural wonders – the beauty of the environment.
