Green Scottsdale Hotel Tips
1. Why travel if you might conduct your business online?
You'll find a multitude of diverse online meeting solutions that allow video conference and sharing of documents with both presenters and delegates. These alternatives are so good that you can work your business from your office or home rather than flying. Frequently the in-person meeting in Scottsdale is needed. Still, if every business could trade some flights with an online meeting things would start looking up for our shared environment.
2. Keep room service out with the "Do Not Disturb" sign.
Let housekeeping know that you want your hotel room addressed once every three days. Water - electricity - gas - chemicals - and more are expended everytime your Scottsdale room is cleaned. To enjoy towels and sheets it takes lots of water, detergent, electricity, and gas. Maintain your bath area clean yourself and reduce the need for use of harsh chemicals and cleaning solvents. Vacuuming not only sucks up dirt, it sucks up energy too. Half used shampoo, conditioner, and lotions end up adding tons of plastic to our dumps. In most cases daily room service is not genuinely needed and you'll be helping the environment by not having your room cleaned every day.
3. Walk - bicycle - ride the public system and don't rent.
Expect to discover many forms of public transit to get you from Point A to Point B. There are generally many choices for the eco friendly traveler that leaves the car at the rental lot, including alternatives like subway, taxi, shuttle service, light rail and others. Instead of renting a car, take a crack at one of the public systems. Try walking as you'll most likely find restaurants, drug stores, and entertainment close to your Scottsdale hotel. Most downtown areas nowadays offer bike rentals as a good way to cross the city. Lower carbon emissions, expend less fossil fuel, and most probably save money using alternative transportation.
4. Look for Greener properties.
Selecting a low-impact accommodation isn't only greener, you'll find it often cheaper. You can now find many evaluation and authentication programs assessing the environmental initiatives of properties. In the U.S. numerous cities and states have developed certification programs. This is also the case internationally with several countries offering certification programs. Research the city you're traveling to and determine if there is a country or state program for eco-friendly accommodations. You will also find many great online listings of eco friendly hotels. Patently, when looking for accommodations in Scottsdale our favorite is iStayGreen.org
