KEEP SEWARD GREEN

Help us keep Alaska wild and beautiful for generations to come. Here are five things you can do to reduce your environmental impact while traveling:

1. Purchase carbon offsets: Reduce your environmental footprint while traveling by purchasing carbon offsets for your flight, cruise, drive, or local activities. A good Alaska-based option is Juneau Carbon Offset (juneaucarbonoffset.org)

2. Carry reusable shopping bags: Bring a bag from home, purchase one in Seward, or borrow a bag courtesy of local volunteers at Ukanuzit (p. 65).

3. Bring a reusable water bottle: Refill stations are available at various locations downtown (see pull-out map)

4. Pack it out: We’d appreciate it if you’d pack out any trash that you may find on the beach or trail—that’s what most locals do!

5. Recycle whenever possible: Several recycling stations are available around Seward (see pull-out map). The largest range of materials is accepted at the Seward Transfer Facility (3200 Dimond Blvd).
