Organic fruit and vegetables are at least five times richer in anti-oxidants - this is the quality you
will find at GAIA in all our treatments and refreshments.
According to (LOHAS) www.lohas.com one non-organic
cotton t-shirt requires 1/3 cup of pesticide and fertilizer to produce. Hmmm….how about bamboo? This is
a sustainable crop, harvested to produce luxuriously soft textiles that are anti-bacterial and
anti-fungal! Perfect towels for our ocean climate!
GAIA is cleaned and maintained with earth and people friendly products. A local company, Naked Clean
www.naked-clean.com is the first
eco-friendly commercial cleaner in the area.
Our administrative offices are cooler after replacing incandescent bulbs with mercury free low voltage
florescent bulbs. And the practice of unplugging appliances rather than simply turning them off reduces
phantom energy use.
Incredibly in 2007, except for paper and cardboard La Jolla still does not have a recycling pick up in
the business district. We deliver all recyclable plastic, metal and glass to the pick up at Von's grocery.
As a seed spa in the Green Spa Network
