THE LAUNCH OF GSN'S FIRST PLASTIC REDUCTION CHALLENGE

Plastic pollution is real and a growing daily threat to the planet and the creatures who inhabit it.  Because of this Green Spa Network has launched the first ever  "GSN Plastic Reduction Challenge” -- an 11-month campaign conducted in partnership with Plastic Pollution Coalition – where awards will be given in six different categories to winners from day, resort & destination spas as well as spa product companies.

Plastic is a material that the earth cannot digest. Every bit of plastic ever made is still here with us as toxic plastic pollution. Disposable plastics are the greatest contributor to plastic pollution,” explains Daniella Russo, Co-founder and Executive Director of Plastic Pollution Coalition.  “They are a danger to the earth and to humans on it due to the toxic chemicals leaching out of them. The only way to address this problem is by eliminating disposable plastics from our lives.”


Contest Objective

Reduce usage of disposable plastic items - like plastic bags and bottles, food & beverage items, product packaging, shipping supplies, etc...

The Sustainable Choice

Why Choose a Green Spa?

Green Grass

 Green spas are naturally healthy - By eliminating toxins in their skin care products and in their spa’s environment, green spas provide a healthier experience.

Green spas are more relaxing - By putting aside the stressors of modern life – including noise, pollution, toxins and waste – green spas are able to offer a more balanced and relaxing experience.

Green spa treatments are more effective - Synthetically derived skincare products may produce quick results, but they might also cause damage. Natural treatments are gentler and help ensure long-term health and beauty.

Green spas put the body in harmony with nature - Green spas are attuned to the rhythms of nature as well as the rhythms of the human body. When nature and body are in harmony humans feel healthier, stronger and more attractive.

Green spas are good business - Although up-front costs for some greening programs may be high, they usually pay for themselves and start to provide savings within one to two years. For example: investing in low-flow shower heads and toilets will cost up front, but the savings in water use will continue well into the future.
