Environmental Leaders
As you plan your visit to DownEast & Acadia, consider staying at a business that is certified as a Maine Green Lodging property. Area tourism businesses recognize the importance of protecting our state's natural resources. It is these very resources that make us an attractive vacation destination for millions of travelers each year.
A number of conservation minded Maine businesses have been certified by the Maine Department of Environmental Protection as Environmental Leaders by implementing programs to:
- Reduce energy
- Conserve water
- Minimize waste
- Use environmentally preferable cleaners
- And educate the public and their customers on reducing environmental impact
Participating Maine green lodging properties all post the Environmental Leader flag at their places of business. Search for participating businesses below.
