Planning on staying in a hotel? To help your stay be as ecologically friendly as possible look for a green hotel.
Green hotels are doing their part to reduce their energy and water usage and to reduce solid wastes. They’re upgrading with energy efficient lights, restricted flow-high pressure showers and high efficiency toilets. They recycle and contribute excess foodstuffs to the local food programs. You do have a green choice when it comes to lodging.
Some hotels are going back to china sugar bowls and cream pitchers. These types of items can be cleaned and reused over and over. You might find bicycles available for use, coins used for parking and coat checks, cloth laundry bags repurposed from sheets. Some Toronto hotels are recycling their tablecloths into napkins.
You’ll see more ground covers instead of green grass. You’ll find geothermal heating and cooling and solar used for lights and hot water.
The hotel industry is on top of the game when it comes to energy conservation. When you’re booking a stay, be sure to check for your ‘green’ options.
