A Zero-Waste Ski Resort

Cool in more ways than one, is rock&shysresort, LAAX in Switzerland (rocksresort.com), being a zero-waste 122 room ski retreat. The whole mountain is powered by hydroelectricity, solar pan&shyels and biomass heating. This winter, they replace their 30-year-old chairlift and sell the old ones to aid Nepal&rsquos earthquake victims. Nice, right
