Did you know that today is America Recycles Day<\/strong>?!?\u00a0 We thought that makes it a perfect day to share with you what Husky Homestead is doing not only to recycle, but to reduce waste, and lessen our impact on the environment.<\/p>\n

\nOver the past year we have joined forces with the Denali Zero-Landfill Project<\/a>.\u00a0 This initiative was created to find better ways to manage the 100 million pounds of trash produced when nearly 331 million people visit America’s national parks each year. As a neighbor to Denali National Park, as well as a community partner of the project, we are working to spread the word to our visitors so that they can plan ahead to reduce waste when they visit us here in Denali.\u00a0 Did you know that a plastic bottle that is recycled here at Husky Homestead travels over 200 miles to a recycling center, and is then shipped 2,000 miles or more to processing facilities outside of Alaska?!?\u00a0 That’s a long journey!\u00a0 If you’re planning a visit to see us, or anyone else here in the Denali Park area, check out these travel tips<\/a> from our friends at Denali Education Center so that you can know before you go.\u00a0 Check out this video on the project – it even features a couple of our very own!<\/p>\n
