We are Eco-Friendly

The Celtic Inn, An Irish Bed & Breakfast, is eco-friendly and environmentally conscious whenever possible. There are many ways we are "low-impact" to Mother Earth. For example:

• We serve organic fruits, yogurts, and juices for our breakfasts.

• We serve organic, Fair Trade coffees and teas.

• We serve breakfast in natural, wicker baskets, not disposable containers.

• We use ceramic and glass dishware, not disposable plates and cups.

• We use real cutlery, not plastic forks and spoons.

• We use cloth napkins and placemats, not paper.

• We use CFL light bulbs whenever practical.

• We recycle all tin, aluminum, glass, newspapers, and plastics to keep them out of the landfill.

• We compost food scraps and yard waste.

• We are members of our local food co-op, The People's Co-op, in Historic Downtown La Crosse.

• We believe in Community Supported Agriculture, and we are members of Lynnwood Farms CSA. This provides us with fresh, local produce throughout the growing season.

• We use reusable cloth bags for grocery shopping, instead of plastic or paper.

• We use a high-efficiency, Energy-Star, washing machine and dryer, for minimal use of water and electricity.

• We believe in wearing sweaters in the winter, tank tops in summer; when we are away from the Inn, we adjust the thermostat accordingly, rather than wastefully heat or cool the entire Inn at all times.

These are just a few of the ways we are Eco-Friendly and environmentally low-impact.
