I, too, am interested in responses to this question. I am a new resident of a CCRC in Seattle and member of a "green team" of residents who are concerned with issues relating to sustainability. For the moment we're focused on how to dispose of food containers by residents as well as dining services and the health center--what to recycle, what to compost and what goes to landfill. We will soon turn our attention to larger matters such as green roofs, solar panels and rainwater recovery. Ours is an older building that may well be limited in what it can accommodate, and costs for such initiatives could be quite high. Nevertheless, conservation is an essential goal. When our team submits suggestions to our administration (which is generally forward-looking) it will be very helpful to know what other CCRCs have done. I thank interested respondents very much in advance for your thoughts.
