What I learned at the 2007 ISPA Conference & Expo about Sustainability and Greening in the Spa Industry - Part 2

This is the third in a series of four articles on the 2007 ISPA Conference & Expo held in Kissimmee, Florida November 12-15, 2007.

This year I had four excellent opportunities to learn what the spa industry can do and is doing to protect the earth's environment. I had a conversation with Clodagh on green initiatives. I heard two presentations - Greening Your Spa by Implementing Sustainable Practices and From Green to Gold: How Sustainability Can Translate into Spa Profits that shared stories of tangible, real-life green initiatives taken by role-model spas. I also had the unique opportunity to sit in on the Green Spa Network's executive committee meeting.

In this article, I will share what I learned from From Green to Gold: How Sustainability Can Translate into Spa Profits and the Green Spa Network's activities.

This is the eighth month I am featuring the Spa Photography of artist Linda Troeller. Linda is an award-winning photographer who has been featured in the New York Times, Marie Claire Magazine, Healing Retreats and Lifestyles, GQ Magazine, Forbes Magazine and a number of publications for spa professionals. She is the creator of Spa Journeys and Healing Waters. Troeller's style captures the fluidity of water and the luminosity of physical shapes in spa settings. I had the pleasure of spending time with Linda at Toskana Therme in Bad Sulza, Germany where many of her photographs adorn the walls. A new giclee print, signed by the artist, will be featured each month.
