green hotels



There are hotels all around the world that are trying to make a huge effort on making their energy and water usage lower. They are installing energy efficient lighting, low flow showers and toilets, participating in recycling programs. This is also contributing to the local communities. The one good thing about these green hotels is that no matter your budget there will be a green option for you to find.

"If you can't find a green hotel in your city, you can always take these steps to green-up your stay, and feel good about where you're going.
Encourage the hotel you choose to go green! Speak with or write a letter to the management, let them know that green options are important to you.
Let housekeeping know that you don't need them to replace your sheets and towels every day; this will reduce energy AND water usage.
Turn off the lights, air conditioner or heater, and the electronics in your room while you're out.
Turn off the water when you brush your teeth, and take a shorter showers.
Bring your own toiletries, or if you use what the hotel provides make sure to take what's leftover home with you."
