Our Big Green: Conserve

We believe that it is imperative to conserve the resources we have by using them more efficiently and choosing products that reduce waste.

Conservation – Consumption Reduction

• Housekeeping team ensures that all lights and televisions are turned off in all guestrooms
• Our kitchen team ensures that our dish washing machine is clean and that the wash, rinse, and sanitize arms are free from lime buildup
• We ask all meeting/banquet clients if we can use pitchers of filtered water instead of bottled water
• We have installed low-flow water restrictive devices for our faucets, toilets, urinals, and shower heads
• During periods of low occupancy, we have a coordinated plan to “shut down” certain floors or wings, ensuring that heating/cooling units and electrical appliances are turned off

Conservation – Waste Reduction

• We have implemented a linen and towel re-use program
• Our food and beverage team has eliminated the use of all Styrofoam and plastic cups and containers
• Our team encourages guests and clients to use double-sided copying at a reduced two-page cost
• Our administrative team has stopped printing daily reports, equaling an annual savings of paper equivalent to 20 miles
• We encourage guests/clients to send proposals, marketing materials, and contracts electronically
