Emerald Keepers highlights environmental concerns in the scenic Coronado.
Emerald Keepers is highlighting critical water and air quality issues in Coronado. The local group’s initiatives, including regular water testing and air quality monitoring, are pivotal in raising awareness among residents. The Glorietta Bay Inn is committing to sustainability with eco-friendly practices, aiming to reduce plastic waste and promote a greener community. This collaborative effort underscores the importance of preserving Coronado’s natural beauty and engaging local businesses in environmental stewardship.
Coronado, a scenic island city known for its beautiful beaches and vibrant community, is buzzing with important news as local group Emerald Keepers shines a spotlight on some pressing environmental issues. Specifically, they’re raising awareness about water and air quality, prompting residents and authorities alike to take notice.
In Coronado, the County of San Diego conducts regular tests on the water quality. This diligent effort ensures that the water remains safe for both locals and visitors. Residents are encouraged to stay informed about the quality of their water, which is an essential aspect of public health. Despite regular checks, it’s crucial for everyone to remain aware and engaged in these topics, especially as fluctuations can occur.
On the air quality front, Emerald Keepers has taken significant strides by installing air quality monitors on homes throughout the city. This initiative is especially vital, as it’s been noted that Coronado often experiences poorer air quality compared to neighboring cities. The reasons behind these disparities remain a mystery, but by collecting data and sharing it with the community on a weekly basis, Emerald Keepers hopes to uncover patterns and potential causes. This proactive approach encourages local residents to be vigilant about their environmental surroundings.
While residents navigate these air and water quality discussions, there are also exciting developments with local businesses. The iconic Glorietta Bay Inn, a historic landmark on the island, is striving to become the most eco-friendly hotel in Coronado. The hotel’s general manager has rolled out several sustainable initiatives aimed at reducing plastic waste and enhancing the environment.
Glorietta Bay Inn is stepping up its game with features like water bottle refill stations and solar panels on its roof, showcasing a commitment to sustainability. Guests even have the option to participate in the “Go Green Service,” allowing them to save water by opting for reduced room cleaning. This kind of initiative not only contributes to conservation but can also lead to discounts, making it a win-win situation for everyone.
To further cut down on single-use plastic, the hotel now offers guests canned water with screw-top lids from a local minority-owned company. This fascinating product emphasizes the motto “MORE OCEAN. LESS PLASTIC. STILL WATER.” It’s not just water that’s being managed carefully; all hotel rooms are equipped with designated recycling and trash bins to ensure proper waste management.
The hotel is also taking steps to minimize breakfast waste by utilizing sustainable products. This attention to detail demonstrates a significant commitment to reducing their environmental impact, influencing other businesses and encouraging the entire community to think sustainably.
The general manager of the Glorietta Bay Inn is heavily involved in community initiatives, working closely with Emerald Keepers to promote environmental awareness. Their efforts have not gone unnoticed, as the hotel has recently been recognized as Emerald Keepers of the Month for its outstanding eco-friendly practices and dedication to sustainability. This acknowledgment highlights the positive impact local businesses can have on the community’s environmental health.
As community members rally together over these water and air quality issues, they also celebrate businesses like the Glorietta Bay Inn that pave the way for a greener future. It’s just one more way that Coronado stands out as a city committed to its natural beauty and protective stewardship.
