RITTENHOUSE
INN CERTIFIED GREEN
The Rittenhouse Inn announced
its certification by Travel
Green Wisconsin as a tourism-related
business which is reducing its
environmental impact through
operational and other improvements.
To achieve Travel Green certification,
businesses must meet a variety
of goals, including demonstration
of how they encourage staff
and customers to be environmentally
aware, and how they reduce their
solid waste and energy consumption.
"This is a bandwagon everyone
needs to get on," say Rittenhouse
innkeeper Jerry Phillips. "We
can see the effects of global
warming all around us, and we
owe it to future generations
to be more responsible. Fresh
air and clean water are things
we've taken for granted and,
unfortunately, time is running
out."
Travel Green Wisconsin is one
of the first organizations of
its kind and has received coverage
in a variety of national media
outlets, including CNN, the
Chicago Tribune and The New
York Times.
The Rittenhouse Inn scored high
marks for emphasizing its local
economy by supporting area farms.
The Inn uses non-toxic biodegradable
laundry and cleaning products
and is focused on waste reduction,
recycling and energy conservation.
