For 21 years, the Yosemite Climbing Association has led an annual clean-up effort in the beloved national park, known as the Yosemite Facelift. And for the past four years, Rush Creek Lodge & Spa has been running its “Trade Trash for Spa Treatments” campaign. The lodge is a certified founding B-Corp establishment. Last year, Rush Creek’s luxurious spa saw 55 volunteers who collected 899 pounds of trash in Groveland, a town close to the northwest entrance of Yosemite - a small fraction of the 1,000+ participants who gathered 10,432 pounds of trash within the park in 2023.
