What You Can Do
If you would like to be a part of Whistler's efforts to minimize its environmental footprint, please consider some of these “green travel tips” when visiting the resort.
- When you leave your hotel room, turn off the AC/heat, lights, TV and radio. Close the drapes.
- Participate in hotel linen programs, or let the hotel know that it's not necessary to change your sheets and towels every day.
- Use public transportation when available. Whistler is a pedestrian-only village, so once you get here, there is no need for your car. Everything is within walking distance, or you can choose to take a short bus ride.
- Take only the brochures or maps necessary. Return others to the brochure stand.
- Participate in hotel recycling programs by placing recyclables in appropriate bins.
Purchase carbon offsets
You can also now offset the climate impact of travelling to and from Whistler. The Whistler EcoPath™ online calculator allows you to determine the greenhouse gas emissions from your trip and then gives you the option to invest in high quality carbon offsets to mitigate this impact.
