An environmental certification program is being created for Wisconsin lodgings, restaurants and other tourism businesses.

It's being developed by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism with the Wisconsin Environmental Initiative.

Businesses seeking certification will have to submit what they have done or expect to complete within six months in categories including waste reduction, recycling, energy efficiency, water conservation, wastewater management, air quality, and wildlife and landscape management.

The department will list all certified businesses on a Travel Green Wisconsin Web site and the firms can use the program's logo in their promotions.
