Abstract/Contents:Discusses the efforts of Henderson, Nevada's Wildhorse Golf Club to practice environmental stewardship, noting that "Wildhorse has been certified by the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program (ACSP) since May 2008." Details the club's strategies for becoming more environmentally aware, reporting that it "began collecting cans and bottles and eventually expanded the program to include cardboard, paper products, and even green waste and food scraps." Highlights the club's green material disposal methods, reporting that "once the club purchased a wood chipper, the load frequency decreased to only once or twice per month, saving the club about $1,500 each month during the growing season." Mentions that the Wildhorse kitchen staff also contributes to the club's recycling efforts, stating that "food waste is deposited in an appropriate container...while the grease is collected from traps and deposited in a receptacle stationed outside." Concludes that "not only is...[the recycling program] good for the environment and popular with the public; it [also] has proved to be a financially sound decision."
