Sarasota Luxury Hotel Green Tip
Why rent a car when there's often good alternatives?
If you're traveling to a metropolitan district you'll most probably become aware of excellent substitutes to car rental. To make the key metro areas more pedestrian favorable most have developed a good grid of light rail, elevated rail, shuttle, bus, train, trolley, subway and taxi services. Not only is public transit a more eco-friendly alternate, you may also notice that you save cash by not paying for the rental car, parking, valet and petrol costs. Try walking as you'll most likely observe restaurants, drug stores, and entertainment close to your Sarasota hotel. If the distance isn't too great give a bike a shot and get a little workout. Treat yourself to a new way of getting around, you could just find you enjoy it!
Sarasota Lodging and how they rate for "Greenness".
Sarasota has 41 hotels listed in the iStayGreen directory of which 13 are listed as environmentally friendly lodging. At this time 7 hotels have accomplished the online Environmental Audit and achieved the Green Eco-Leaf Rating while the other 6 properties are purported to be "Green" although at this time have not shared their eco-initiatives with our directory.
We are hopeful that in the near future the iStayGreen.org online service will be able to bring to you the eco position of a bulk of the htoels & motels in Sarasota but presently there are 28 hotels we haven't yet heard back from. Of the 2704 FL lodging properties listed in the iStayGreen.org directory 304 are shown as being "Green". At this time there are 135 hotels that have earned the Green Eco-Leaf Rating. Included in the properties striving towards a more sustainable travel future are Sarasota hotels, Sarasota resorts, Sarasota bed & breakfasts, and Sarasota extended stay accommodations.
We encourage you to treat the environment with care by checking first to find out if there is an eco-friendly property located by your intended destination.
In most situations we have determined eco-friendly Sarasota FL hotels and resorts to be price competitive to the unrated Sarasota hotel room rates. One may even save cash and at the same time be doing a good thing for our environment!
Require transparency from the properties you visit and don't allow them to get away with "Greenwashing". Make sure you know what they're doing to protect the environment.
