Lifestyle :: Skiing & Snowboarding
|
Skiing and snowboarding aren't exactly the world's most environmentally friendly activities. If you regularly ski at a resort, a lot of electricity is used to haul you up the mountain, not to mention all the gas or diesel used to run the snow cats, snowmobiles, cars, trucks, snow blowers and other equipment necessary to make a ski resort function. Gasoline was most likely used to get you there, the restaurants at the resort are responsible for a significant amount of trash and waste, and water use is a much debated topic. That being said, skiing and snowboarding is what keeps this town alive and we all love it. That's why we should work hard to make it more eco-friendly and show the rest of the world how to make skiing and snowboarding green.
