Place the "Do Not Disturb" sign on your room door.
Or simply call housekeeping and inform them you won't want their services during your stay. A lot of resources are consumed when a Steamboat Springs hotel suite is freshened up. Cleaning the sheets and towels does not just use water, but also electricity and soap. Cleaning chemicals and detergents are oftentimes used to freshen up the tub and toilet. A Vacuumed floor uses power. Half used plastic bottles filled with shampoo and conditioner is highly wasteful. Cleaning your room everyday is most likely not a requirement and you will be doing your piece to preserve natural resources when you don't have housekeeping daily.
