Reno Luxury Hotel Green Tip
Research your intended destination for Eco-Friendly properties.
Choosing an eco-friendly hotel is not only better for our environment, but in a lot of cases you'll find your stay less expensive. You can now find many rating and authentication programs assessing the green measures of properties. In the U.S. numerous states and municipalities have created certification guidelines. You will find it to be the same internationally with numerous countries providing certification evaluations. Research your destination and determine if there is a state or country program for environmentally friendly properties. There are also many fine online directories of eco friendly accommodations. Obviously, when searching for lodging in Reno our preference is iStayGreen.org

In most situations we have determined eco-friendly Reno NV accommodations to be price competitive with the unrated Reno hotel room rates. One might even save money and at the same instance be doing a good thing for our environment!
When you visit a property demand that they be transparent about what they are doing to be sensitive to our environment and create a more sustainable future for both our planet and the travel industry.
More Reno Resorts Green Tips
Get some brisk air & workout, walk or cycle rather than renting.
Driving rental car in packed downtown areas is typically a poor alternative to public transport. To make the key metro areas more pedestrian receptive most have developed an excellent grid of light rail, elevated rail, shuttle, bus, train, trolley, subway and taxi services. Kick the rental car habit and give public transportation a try; you possibly could find yourself pleasantly surprised. Why not walk when virtually all of what you necessitate is likely close to your Reno hotel. Biking can be a great way to not only navigate the city but get exercise too, but don't fail to remember your helmet. Not only can you depress carbon emissions but you'll get a good workout in the process.
Place the "Do Not Disturb" notice on your room door.
Let room service know that you want your suite cleaned once every three days. Water - electricity - gas - chemicals - and more are expended everytime your Reno room is serviced. To get towels and sheets it uses lots of water, cleaning chemicals, electricity, and gas. Countertops are sprayed with solvents. Floors are swept requiring electric power. Why have the sample sized bottle of shampoo, conditioner, and lotion replaced when they're only partially used? Consider whether your suite actually needs cleaning; you'll probably find its not needed and you can't help preserve the environment.
You'll find excellent alternatives to the business trip.
You'll find a multitude of diverse internet meeting solutions that let 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 work your business from your office or home instead of flying. When face to face meetings to Reno are needed, then of course you'll need to travel. Nevertheless, if every business could substitute some flights with an online meeting things would start looking up for our shared environment.
