What Happens to the Green Fee Funds?


The Green Fee helps offset the environmental cost of carbon emissions by putting resources back into our local area. All Green Fee funds will be donated to local groups working toward environmental health. In 2009, racers contributed $1600 toward the Green Fee which is a phenomenal response.  Thank you racers for helping to keep Whatcom County a great place to live and recreate.  Please see notes below on how the Green Fee was allocated in 2009.

This year the funds raised be being "green" will be distributed as follows:
  • 1/3 of Green Fee funds will be given to the Whatcom Land Trust for land acquisition along the Nooksack River; as a recipient of the 2009 Green Fee, $400 was allocated toward land acquisition along the Nooksack River.
  • 1/3 will be given to Whatcom Sustainable Recreation for the promotion of sustainable events.
  • 1/3  will be given to the Girl Scouts of Whatcom County who greatly contribute to the success of event recycling by serving as the Recycle Monitors on race day; as a recipient of the 2009 Green Fee, $400 was allocated to participating troops and they used these funds to help promote their programs.

Thank you for helping this event and our community stay green!

2009 Ski to Sea Green Team Results
Waste Reduction
Improved Recycling


We are offering recycling and composting at ALL our Ski to Sea racing events.  That means you’ll find the distinctive recycling and composting containers at all locations on Race Day. We’ll have "Roving Recycling Toters” throughout  the crowds—so if you’re confused where to put your plastic bottle or paper cup, you have someone to ask!

You can see our success in reducing the waste generated in 2009 by 2/3 on recycle & garbage bin pictures.

Thank you Girl Scouts for monitoring stations and making our recycling efforts a success! Most of your Race and Festival waste will be recycled or composted, reducing the amount of waste racing to a landfill.
