Funding for the purchase of the bins was provided by the Big Sky Rotary Foundation, Republic Services Charitable Foundation, Moonlight Community Foundation, Spanish Peaks Community Foundation, and the Yellowstone Club Community Foundation. Resort Tax will fund collecting the recyclable plastics and aluminum from a central location, collecting compostable materials from the bins plus transporting, and processing the collected materials in the Bozeman area.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2064 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/resorttax.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/1-300x201.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"201\" \/>Big Sky SNO is a new non-profit with the mission \u201cto preserve and protect the Big Sky community by advancing sustainability and environmental initiatives.\u201d They have recently analyzed the carbon footprint of the community and will develop plans for carbon reduction as well as multiyear climate action plans. The carbon analysis will also be used to apply for the Mountain IDEAL certification as a green mountain destination. The Rotary Club created a Sustainability Committee during 2019 and has facilitated the elimination of single-use plastic water bottles at the PBR and Outlaw Partner concerts, composting at the farmers market, \u00a0 and recycling at Music in the Mountains. The club also funded an education center at BASE, the new BSCO community center.\u00a0 This display will describe the environmental benefits of technology and operational practices of the new facility and will encourage visitors to use similar technology and practices where they live, work, and play.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the top-ranking priorities identified by the Resort Tax commissioned a survey of Big Sky is Sustainability.
