As a wellness center, Spa Therapy believes we have a big responsibility to set an earth friendly example, consider the benefits. Local products reduce the amount of energy that would otherwise be used to transport them long distances. Many of the foods in your typical grocery store have traveled more than 1,000 miles to get there. Foods that are grown nearby often require fewer pesticides than those that must be prevented from spoiling during cross-country commutes. Supporting the local economy often makes it possible for local manufacturers to try new environmental techniques with lower risk. This is why All of our body treatments feature locally grown products. Our September/October special, features plums from Silva Farms. Our “Plum Crazy” body therapy is rich in anti-oxidants A, C, and E, with D, calcium and zinc; to name a few of the long list of skin and body nutrients. Spa Therapy Wellness Center is complete with all CFL and LED lights. Compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) are energy-efficient bulbs that use two-thirds less energy and produce 70% less heat. If every American household replaced just one incandescent light bulb with a CFL, we'd prevent 800,000 cars' worth of greenhouse-gas emissions (2000 times it’s own weight). Light Emission Diodes (LED) have current efficiencies of 30% higher and CFLs, and a lifetime of around 50,000 hours. The generation of electricity is our country’s largest single source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, accounting for 38%, according to the EPA Power Profiler. In addition to energy and emissions conservation, Spa Therapy also purifies its water. We have a complete reverse osmosis and hot water mixing system throughout the wellness center. Reverse osmosis systems remove a variety of contaminants and are often are recommended for immune-comprised individuals who could be especially susceptible to infection from various waterborne contaminants (Reference Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). Efficient hot water mixers allow for immediate water temperature control which eliminates water waste and energy. Bamboo flooring, ego-resin furniture and 100% cotton and bamboo linen are some of the other features of the wellness center. Spa Therapy practices the "think global - act local" concept for our earth environment as outlined by the United Nations at the Conference on the Environment and Development of 1992. Principal 1 of that declaration states: "Human Beings are at the center of concern for sustainable development. They are entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature." Spa Therapy Wellness Center will be at the center of concern for sustainable development in our community. We will commit to our communities health, growth, protection, and environmental impact.
