Promoting Eco-Tourism

Take Only Pictures, Leave Only Footprints

The San Juan Islands are a fragile marine ecosystem so please help us preserve our environment:

• Avoid carry-out containers.  (There is a county-wide ban on styrofoam.)
• Frequent and support local businesses that are “green.”
• Frequent restaurants that are Island Certified Local.
• Walk or use one of the Tucker House Inn bicycles instead of using a car.
• Take the Island shuttle to tour the island.
• Turn off your car when waiting for the ferry.
• Help pick up litter and dispose of all trash properly.
• Support island conservation projects.
• Take digital photos or film with 36 exposures to reduce canister waste.
• Bring reusable shopping bags.
• Take only as many paper napkins and individual condiments as you need.
• Bring reusable take-out coffee and beverage containers and eating utensils.

Thank you.
