And, as a steward of National Forest Service land, Keystone Resort & Conference Center has several conservation programs in place.
Keystone Conference Center…
• has upgraded its internal lighting system making it 100,000kWh per year more efficient
(equivalent to powering more than 10 homes for one year).
• has a recycling program that prevents plastics, tin and aluminum cans, newspaper, office paper,
and cardboard from entering the landfill.
• has a composting program that diverts over 50 tons of kitchen waste per year.
• diverts over 3 tons of kitchen waste and other products per month to Summit County’s composting program
• has a recycling effort that diverted over 130 tons of material in 2009, a diversion rate of over 60%.
• The material recycled and composted by Keystone Conference Center in 2006 is equivalent to:
saving 18 households of energy for one year; preventing 106 trees from being cut down and turned
into paper products; preventing 138 tons of air emissions from being emitted into the atmosphere;
and taking 66 cars off the road for one year.
