The hospitality industry utilizes vast amounts of resources including materials, energy, and water. This webinar is a case study on how some enterprising individuals were able to move their hotel chains to go green; not only reducing the environmental footprint but also impacting the hotel’s bottom line.
David Hansen is Director of Engineering for Embassy Suites Lake Tahoe that is part of the Hilton Hotel Chain. Getting his management to invest in greening operations during a downed economy was just the first step in this inspirational story. Now David is leading the way towards resource reduction and energy efficiency in the entire Hilton Hotel Chain.
How do you get the world’s largest hotel chain to go green? Tim Burns, Hospitality Management Trainer will explain programs and best practices Best Western International is implementing to encourage their hotels to go green.
Andy Bray, Project Manager for Northeast Waste Management Officials’ Association (NEWMOA) will talk about P2Rx’s National Sustainable Lodging Network, an online community of sustainable hospitality practitioners and a clearinghouse to support the work of this community.
Moderated by Donna Walden, Regional Coordinator for Western Sustainability and Pollution Prevention Network (WSPPN).
