Plastic Free Lodging In Seward, Alaska

Throughout our time at Johnstone Bay, it has become deeply apparent to us the problem of single use plastic.

 

Despite the remote location and lack of human interference, plastic and Styrofoam can be found lining the coastal forest. Which begs the question, if human garbage can be found in this remote location, where in the world can one go and not find it?

 

There is no such thing as ‘away’. When we throw anything away, it must go somewhere. – Annie Leonard

 

For this reason, we are committed to restraining from the use of single use plastic at Johnstone Adventure Lodge whenever possible. Additionally, we conduct regular beach clean ups. We ask that guests join with us in refraining from bringing plastic garbage to Johnstone Bay. We also hope that the observation of its presence here might inspire others to rethink their consumption. We ask that our guests consider packing out their recyclable garbage.

​

We wanted to provide some useful information from the Consumer Notice Organization in regards to reducing pollution and contamination ocean wide.

"One of the primary threats to clean water in the United States is polluted water containing oil, dirt, chemicals, and more that enters our streams, lakes, and rivers. In recently released data, the Environmental Protection Agency found that at least 70 million Americans get their water from a system where toxic PFAS were found at levels that require reporting to the EPA.

To help consumers learn more, our experts at ConsumerNotice.org have created multiple pages to share critical information on reducing pollution at home and where PFAs can be found. You can check them out here: Ella Mfene Community Outreach Coordinator Consumer Notice"
