History of Caring
  • Development of Queenstown Harbor included 13
    monitoring wells

  • Model for Critical Area Commission for future
    golf course projects

Integrated Pest Management and Best Management
Practices
  • Algae in ponds controlled by fish, not chemicals
  • Fans on course maintain air circulation, keeping
    greens dry, reducing bacteria fungus growth
  • Ponds capture 80 of
  • water runoff

5
The Living Roof
  • Captures filters storm water runoff
  • Reduces carbon dioxide impact
  • Reduces summer air conditioning costs
  • Reduces winter heat demand
  • Lengthens roof life
  • Removes nitrogen pollution in rain
  • Neutralizes acid rain effect
  • Reduces noise
  • Provides habitat

6
Cups of Corn
  • Plastic cups at golf courses are made from
    renewable source
  • 100 biodegradable compostable
  • Made from corn, not petroleum

7
Cow Poop (ReMooable Energy)
  • Purchase of Green Tags offsets 1,135 tons of CO2
    emissions annually
  • Additional reduction of 278,206 annually through
    CoolDriver program
  • Specific opportunity to support farm methane
    generator in Chesapeake Bay Watershed
  • Started CoolGolfer program for golf members

8
EPA Green Power Purchasing Award
9
River House Charter
  • Align the organization
  • Enable action

10
Maryland Clean Marina
  • Install containment tanks around fuel tanks
  • Improve water filtration systems
  • Landscaping

11
Rain Barrels
  • Each barrel saves 1,300 gallons of water
  • Decreases demand for tap water
  • Decreases runoff
  • Better source of irrigation water for landscaping

12
Chevron 5,000,000 Mile Rideshare Challenge
Sponsorship
  • Atlantic Golfs sponsorship will
  • Create 2,000 ridesharing trips
  • Adding up to 3,400 fewer car trips
  • Equaling 100,000 fewer miles driven
  • Generating 40 fewer tons of auto emissions
  • Resulting in 4,400 fewer gallons of gas purchased

13
Green Cleaning
  • Paper products meet EPA standards for
    post-consumer waste content
  • Paper towels are more absorbent, leading to less
    consumption
  • Coreless bathroom tissues uses 54.6 less
    packaging
  • Cleaning products are Green Seal Certified
  • Vacuum cleaners use high-efficiency filters and
    are heavy-duty to last longer
