With the 4th and 5th generations of the Hoyt family currently running operations at Purity Spring, the family continues to seek ways to cut back its energy use. The Hoyt Family has been respectful of the environment through the generations. Here are some of the ways in which we continue to minimize our environmental footprint:
- A portion of the lodging units, currently being refurbished, are now using energy-efficient fans. All other units will eventually be replaced.
- Purity Lake has been kept 100% free of development. Other than buildings that were built years ago, the Hoyt family has kept all development to an absolute minimum.
- Purity Resort guests have enjoyed fishing, swimming, canoeing and kayaking on Purity Lake since the early 1900’s. Motorized boating is restricted except for a company-owned boat which is used minimally for its guests and boy’s camp.
- High-extraction washers are used in all laundry areas at each resort.
- Light bulbs have been or are currently being replaced with high efficiency lighting in one way or another throughout all businesses.
- Purity Spring Resort offers “Purity Green Weddings”. These weddings consist of ceremonies and receptions that offer minimal impact on the environment. For example, weddings held on “Purity Island” use minimal power and offer menus that use natural or organic foods that are grown locally. A number of different programs with varying degrees of “green”, are offered to the bride and groom to minimize the waste produced by large gatherings such as weddings.
