B&B celebrates 14 years of 'zero waste' in Heritage HillNovember 14, 2007 By: Deborah Johnson Wood When Peaches Bed and Breakfast set up shop 14 years ago, there was no such thing as a 'zero waste' concept and there were few recycling programs. But that didn't stop owner Jane Lovett from doing what came naturally for her—paying attention to how she uses and disposes of everything. Peaches is virtually a 'zero waste' business. Lovett, 44, says just one small bag a week goes to the landfill. That bag contains used tissues and dog waste from her two dogs. Even when Lovett has all 10 rooms at 29 Gay SE, Grand Rapids, filled with guests she rarely has more than the one bag.

It will set the hotel on a course to become the state's first zero-waste hotel. "Before the renovation, we planned to buy a lot of new things, and then we asked, 'is this really being true to our green goals,'" says Ellen Markel, general manager. "Our zero waste goal is something very new. It's going to take some time."
