# The Craignair’s Green Initiatives

The Craignair Inn by the Sea operates with[green lodging best practices](https://craignair.com/eco-friendly-maine)to ensure the health and safety of our guests and our environment. Environmental stewardship is part of our overarching mission/vision and has been a guiding principle since we took ownership of the property. Our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint include: 

Installing solar panels 

Installing an E/V charging station and driving electric/hybrid vehicles

Using concentrated cleaning products to reduce plastic waste

Choosing chemical free products whenever possible

Washing our laundry in cold water only

Separating and recycling paper, cardboard, glass, metal, plastic

Employing organic landscaping practices including fewer chemical and hand watering the lawn

Installing refillable soap dispensers in guest rooms

Encouraging in house guests to not launder linens daily

Donating and upcycling unusable linens to the animal shelter

Limiting single use products in the kitchen and throughout the inn

Installing Energy Star appliances and eco friendly heat pumps

Growing our own herbs and edible flowers

Owners are both vegan and include many vegan/vegetarian menu options

Working with local growers, harvesters, fishermen, vendors whenever possible

Participating in aquaculture initiatives

Advocating for environmental initiatives and proactive solutions on the local government level

It is personally and professionally imperative to us to conserve what we can, reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, reduce our consumption and waste, and restore what we can to the natural environment. We pledge to always incorporate these values into our practices as innkeepers to protect the planet for future generations of humans and all the plants and animals on this living Earth. We welcome feedback and are always learning and growing in our effort to be mindful and ethical citizens.
