WildSpring Guest Habitat
WildSpring Guest Habitat has reduced up to 200 metric tons of carbon emissions in the current year.
Carbon dioxide emissions, the principal cause of global warming, are an inevitable consequence of energy use. Every time an individual or organization uses electricity for lighting, fuel for transport, etc., additional carbon emissions are released into the atmosphere.
WildSpring Guest Habitat has partnered with TerraPass to sponsor clean energy and carbon reduction projects that result in a verified, measurable reduction in carbon emissions.

About WildSpring Guest Habitat
WildSpring is a small, ecofriendly resort in Port Orford, overlooking Oregon's south coast. On 5 acres of old Native American grounds, it offers luxury accommodations in a naturally beautiful environment. Elegant cabin suites built like small homes, filled with art and antiques. Guest Hall, sculpture garden and open-air slate spa overlook the ocean. It is unique and offers a more personal experience to visitors - it feels less like commercial lodging and more like a private estate. It has been eco-sensitive since its planning stages, placing cabins carefully within the secluded, second-growth forest so only two living trees were lost. It uses sustainable materials whenever possible, low-watt and energy efficient lighting, low-flow plumbing, native plants, recycled paper goods, compostable "glasses", non-toxic, pH neutral, scent-free cleaning and laundry products and local produce. It invites guests to participate in water and energy-saving measures. It donates all incoming shipping to a local myrtlewood manufacturer so they can reuse them when shipping their products, it supports eco-organizaitons through donations of money and free stays for fundraising. And, the owners speak at local and regional groups about the benefits of eco-operations.
