Many hotels around the world spend significant money on “green” or “eco-friendly” initiatives and then pay a large annual fee to an outside company to give them a “green key” rating. We have implemented many green initiatives, however would rather keep our “green” for other worthwhile initiatives at our property, rather than buying a rating.
Some of the many things that we have implemented:
Flourescent lighting
BC Hydro initiative that encourages business to use less electricity. We have been converting all of our lighting to flourescent, where possible.
Temp and light control
When rooms are unoccupied we make sure all lights/heat are off in units except in our winter season we have to keep minimal heat on in our units.
Timers
We use timers throughout the hotel for our signs, lighting and music to make sure they’re only running during our buisness hours.
Low flow- We have changed all of our shower heads and toilets to low flow to prevent over use of water.
Composting
We have composting on-site. We encourage our guests to through their organic material into the composter in our garden area. During the harvest season we offer the guests fresh local product that we have grown through out the season. All natural fertalizers are used in the garden along with our composting.
Linens and laundry
We change sheets every 5th day (sooner if necessary). Towels are replaced only when left in the tub or floor. Signage is in place in our washrooms to encourage re-use of towels. We always recycle our older linens into rags for cleaning.
High efficiency washers – Washes and spins laundry more efficiently to remove more moisture than a usual washer and then reduces the drying time.
High efficiency dryers
Complete with sensors that automatically shut off the load once dry.
Cleaning supplies
Non-amoniated window and mirror cleaner. The very best – vinegar! We limit the use of bleach, however there are times when its use is necessary. All chemicals are used in re usable spray bottles.
Plants
We strive to have plants in all of our public areas for better indoor air quality.
Wood
Any wood used around the building has been used with 100% recycled wood.
Paint
All paint used on the building is a low VOC paint.
Re use of paper
We make sure to always re use or recycle the paper that our front desk uses.
Recycling
We promote to all guests to recycle with us through our recycle area. We make sure to recycle all bottles/cans.
Swimming pool
Our Dryotron is a very expensive piece of equipment that not only de-humidifies the air, but recycles that water and heat back into the pool.
Fitness Center
We encourage our staff and motel guests to use our facility to sustain good health by offering them free access to our facility.
Donating
When ever we bring in new product for the business we make sure to recycle the older product by donating to the local second hand stores. We also donate any proceeds we raise to our local food bank when he hold functions within the Motel.
Purchasing
We try our hardest to always purchase our products as local as possible. Although we are a smaller town so only so much can be purchased locally.
Herbicides and pesticides
We do not use these products on our grounds.
