From Suzie’s Spa Blog over at SpaFinder:
Eco-Embedded Spas: A Deeper Shade of Green: Back in 2005, SpaFinder identified the eco-spa boom, crystallizing the first industry definition, still widely used today. In our 2007 forecast..
I have to agree with Suzie regarding what it means to be a real Green Spa………I have recently completed a year long project of building our new facility, Complexions Spa for Beauty & Wellness. This was a lengthy and detailed process of making our entire facility as eco-friendly as we possibly could. It all started with a desire to provide wellness services in an environment that supported that same philosophy to maximize the experience for our guests. This process was far more detailed than simply using florescent light bulbs. Everything from how we diverted 75% of our construction waste from going to the landfills to the type of glass for our windows. We even have quality clean air control, motion sensors in work rooms, low VOC paints, adheasives, wall paper and more. I do think the consumer will become more knowledgeable about what “Going Green” really means and they won’t be fooled by people just trying to jump on the band wagon. We didn’t just say we were green, we are green. ♠

Hello there – it’s so good to read about someone who is walking their talking and making it work! Found you through a Google alert I have for eco-spas and would love to stay in touch. I’m preparing to write an article on ‘green’ spa products for my own blog (http://www.visionsparetreat.com) and haven’t yet decided how to begin. I wonder if you’d be interested in answering a short email questionnaire about how you make choices about this for Complexions? Thanks for your leadership here. Sara

Hi Sara,
Thank you for your comment. I would be more than happy to answer your questions regarding how I made my choices for Complexions. It was not an easy task and there certainly are limited resources available. We need to work together as this “green movement” growns to help make the “greening” process easier for others. I look forward to hearing back from you.
