More Bend Resorts Green Tips
Only rent a car when it's really necessary.
If you're traveling to a metropolitan district you'll most probably encounter great substitutes to car rental. To make the major metro areas more pedestrian friendly most have developed a good quality grid of light rail, elevated rail, shuttle, bus, train, trolley, subway and taxi services. Kick the rental car addiction and give public transit a shot; you might find yourself pleasantly surprised. If the length is short try walking from your Bend hotel. Most downtown areas nowadays offer bike rentals as a good way to traverse the city. Not only can you lower carbon emissions but you'll get a good workout in the process.
Keep housekeeping out with the "Do Not Disturb" sign.
Give room service a ring and inform them you won't be needing their services. Having your Bend room freshened up requires more resources than you might expect. It requires water, electricity, detergent and gas to clean the linens. Keep your bathroom clean yourself and reduce the requirement for use of bad chemicals and solvents. Carpets are vacuumed requiring electricity. Pack your own shampoo and conditioner, it will keep lots of plastic out of our non-biodegradable waste. Daily housekeeping is usually not a requirement and you'll help to preserve valued resources by not having your suite freshened up each day.
Give online conferencing a check out.
There are several diverse online meeting solutions that enable video conference and you the ability to share and edit documents with both presenters and delegates. The online solutions are so good that you can do business from your office or home rather than flying. At times you will have to travel as personal meeting to Bend is needed. Nonetheless, if every business could trade some flights with an online meeting things would begin looking up for our shared environment.
