Raleigh Luxury Hotel Green Tip
Say "No" to rental cars and walk, bike, or ride public transit.
Driving rental car in packed downtown areas is commonly a inferior alternative to public transport. Major cities are typically serviced by various public transportation systems which include light rail, bus, train, trolley, subway, elevated rail, shuttle and taxi services. Not only is public transit a more eco-friendly alternative, you may also discover that you save cash by not paying for the rental car, parking, valet and gas expense. If the distance is small try walking from your Raleigh hotel. Pedal power is a much better choice than fossil fuel if the length is not too far-off. Experiment with one of the alternatives above and be a superior eco-citizen.

Design your stay in a "Green" accommodation.
Choosing a low-impact accommodation isn't simply greener, it's often lower in cost too. Green efforts of hotel properties are assessed by a substantial number of organizations. In the U.S. several cities and states have created certification programs. This is also the case internationally with several countries offering certification evaluations. Look into the place you're visiting and determine if there is a country or state program for environmentally friendly lodging. There are also numerous fine online directories of eco friendly hotels. As expected, when looking for a place to stay in Raleigh our fave is iStayGreen.org
Keep room service out with the "Do Not Disturb" sign.
Have your hotel room cleaned once every other day by contacting the front desk. Water - energy - gas - chemicals - and more are required each time your Raleigh hotel room is cleaned. Sheets and towels are cleaned necessitating water, detergent, electricity, and gas. Cleaning chemicals and detergents are regularly used to clean the bathtub and toilet. Power is consumed when operating the vacuum. Have a go at bringing your own shampoo & soap and don't even consume the hotels products, and you'll help keep allot of plastic out of the landfills. Assess if your suite genuinely needs cleaning; you'll probably find its not needed and you can't help preserve the environment.
Try internet meetings instead of making the trip.
You'll find several diverse online meeting solutions that let video conference and sharing of documents with both presenters and delegates. The online solutions are so good that you can work your business from your office or home instead of traveling. Frequently the in-person meeting in Raleigh is required. Nonetheless, if every business could switch some flights with an internet meeting things would start looking up for our collective environment.
