Suzy: My childhood was spent playing outside and enjoying nature. This grew into a great respect for protecting our precious planet. Bringing that love of nature into my career, I focused on the sustainable education of my spa team so they understood the “why.” Once you understand that, it’s easy to convert folks. In my spa at Silverado Resort, we train and plan how to be good planet partners. We encourage our members to bring their own water bottles instead of buying single-use water bottles.  We diverted 1,600 water bottles per month from landfills through education of what happens when you buy plastic water bottles. To save water we count out treatment supplies so there is no excessive use of linens.  Once you know that it takes three gallons of water to launder a towel, then it makes sense to use them wisely.
