Presenter: Laurel Hill uses electric equipment, reclamation and composting to cut waste and emissions
Summary
The presenter described operational sustainability: electric golf carts and blowers, on-site mulch and compost production, reclamation of soil/rock from graves, biodegradable/upcycled urn options and participation with the Philly Goat Project for tree recycling.
The presenter said Laurel Hill pursues multiple operational practices to reduce waste and emissions: purchasing electric equipment where possible, reclaiming soil and rock from graves to make mulch, and offering biodegradable and upcycled urns made from gourds or recycled glass.
The presenter also described staff composting options and two seasons of collaboration with the Philly Goat Project to recycle Christmas trees. An internal sustainability squad tracks fuel use and other metrics to measure progress and guide decisions.
