6 Things you can do to make your hotel stay Greener

Follow the tips below and you will reduce your personal waste and carbon footprint during your hotel staynext time:

• Request that towels and sheets not be washed and changed daily, it could be alternate days. (this saves water and energy).
• Bring your own toiletries. If you do request the travel-sized bottles, ask for only one set and inform room service that you won’t be needing any more samples unless you request them. Otherwise, the hotel staff will throw out partly-used bottles of shampoo and conditioner and replace them with unopened ones daily.
• Carry your own stainless steel water bottle instead of visiting the drink machines down the hall.
• Recycle, just as you would at home. Take the time to find out where the hotel’s recycling bins are and make use of them as much as possible.
• Shorten your showers to save water, just as you would if you were at home.
• Go easy on the heating and cooling unit in your room. Don’t run it constantly and open windows whenever you can if it’s hot, or run the unit on fan only.

Most importantly have fun going green!!
