Travel
Green Wisconsin Certified Members!
"I would highly recommend the Travel
Green Wisconsin certification process to other Door County businesses.
At The Cookery, we decided to complete the certification because we felt
that the application process would provide us with a useful tool to help
us analyze ways in which we are already sustainable as well as new
practices and initiatives that could be implemented to lessen our
environmental footprint. Although you can certainly "green" your
business without this certification, the application process prompts you
to think of new avenues to become more sustainable and it is also unique
in that it encourages you to educate your staff and customers of the
certification and your initiatives. I think this education piece is
particularly important because a ripple effect will hopefully be felt as
employees and customers realize that some of your efforts could also be
performed in their own lives."
--- Courtney Skare, The Cookery
