Recycling The Loon Mountain and Keeping Our Planet clean

Loon Mountain is located in New Hampshire, right in the middle of the state and as a part of the White Mountains. If you know anything about New Hampshire, you'll know that some of the country's best winter sports take place in the White Mountains. When you think of skiing; recycling probably isn't your first visual, but Loon Mountain is looking to change that perception. While most resorts have to run their snow-making machines there have been advances made in their production to further help with recycling in mind and using energy saving principles. Loon turned to a new idea in snow-making guns where the gun generates its own compressed air, thereby saving on the energy used to have a compressed air hose as a separate unit. At one place they have combined one "disconnect" between two of their popular slopes; Little Sister Trail and Loon Mountain Park and will be able to service both trails with the same snow-making apparatus.

Let's keep our planet healthy When you think of recycling you should really think about the whole idea; reduce, reuse and recycle. Think about it; if you don't need it, don't get it. If you have to get it, get something that can be used again and if you get something that needs to be recycled by the professionals, put it in the recycle bin. Before you leave for a trip remember to turn down your thermostat and/or adjust the AC. Unplug your electronics from the wall to stop possible leaking wattage while it's turned off. Utilize some of the power strips for pulling items in and turn off the whole strip when you're leaving the house.

As an individual you can't control factories pouring toxins into water ways or prevent oil leaks that endanger some species, but you can make an impact, none the less. How? First, by not adding to the madness and wasteful ways others are handling items and materials that can be recycled and secondly, and maybe more importantly, you can make an impact by being a leader in the crusade to save the planet by doing the right things. When you recycle yourself, believe that there are people who are watching and making decisions everyday, by watching how you handle yourself. Big issues are often started with a few concerned, aware people, well before the word gets out to big corporations and law makers that there is a change that needs to be made.

The good news is this; there are easy ways to stay on track with recycling, and you don't have to look very far to find them.
