Select products made from recycled materials. Purchase energy efficient equipment that causes less environmental harm. Most actions that save resources and reduce pollution, also reduce operating costs and increase profit margins. Hotel managers report that most guests are pleased to see the hotel recycling and are willing to participate in the hotel's program. To increase guest involvement, inform guests about the program when they check-in.
Some hotels provide guests recycling information cards at the check-in desk or in the guest rooms.
This awareness allows both the guest and the hotel to participate in the growing interest in ecotourism. In addition, videos, other support educational materials and a staff of professional educators are available from the Cooperative Extension Service to help you organize, conduct and benefit from sound resource management programs.
