Happy New Year! I had a wonderful break this Holiday. We went skiing to several different ski resorts, the snow and the weather has been great. We're so blessed to live in such a beautiful state like Colorado.
But, I could not resist looking over the spectacular view of the mountains, and thinking that we are destroying our own Planet by polluting it, and when my grand kids grow up they might not be able to enjoy it like I do.
I read that due to climate change, North American ski resorts may have to increase artificial snow making
by up to 187% by 2070. The lift tickets will increase to an average of $85.00/day.
The resorts have finally started to think of the environment. Some resorts are taking Eco to the next altitude, providing alternative fuel shuttles, introducing recycling programs, and educating resort-goers about climate change. They're doing a great effort. We can also help by go for products with a positive impact: recycled, reusable, and sustainable.
Many ski resorts offer you to add $2 to your lift ticket to help minimize your impact on the slopes.
