Vermont is the absolute definition of Environmental Wellness and inspires us to live a lifestyle that is respectful of our surroundings—encouraging us to live harmoniously with nature by preserving it for future generations. Environmental well-being promotes personal interaction with nature and the overall environment.

The core tenet of our environmental wellness is respect—respect for all nature and all living species. Environmental wellness encourages us to practice behaviors that promote a healthy planet. We’ve all become far more environmentally aware in recent years with the changing climate and our how our daily habits affect the environment. Improving the planet’s wellness is simple and results in a more ecologically considerate lifestyle.

Once the path to environmental wellness is established, it becomes incredibly easy to fulfill. There are countless numbers of ecologically conscious practices we can adopt in order to improve our relationship with the environment. Conservation tops that list, but below are a few of the things Pond Mountain Inn is doing help preserve our environment.

We’re conserving energy (we reduced oil consumption by 42% last year), recycling, composting, zero food waste in-season, we respect Earth’s natural resources, we’re aware of our consumption profile, and we simply spend more time outdoors enjoying Vermont’s abundant natural resources.
