GREEN LODGING

We are proud to be a participant in the Florida Green Lodging Program, which was established in 2004 by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) with the intent of recognizing and rewarding environmentally conscientious lodging facilities in the state. Through this rapidly growing program, DEP encourages the lodging industry to conserve and protect Florida’s natural resources. The Florida Green Lodging Program is unique in that it covers an all-inclusive list of environmental initiatives that are specific to protecting and preserving Florida’s environment.

Your participation in our conservation efforts during your stay can have a positive impact on Florida’s environment. Here’s how you can help:

• We recycle glass, aluminum, plastic, newspaper, cardboard and phone books.

• We also recycle toner cartridges, batteries, and fluorescent and compact bulbs.

• We use 30% post-consumer content and 30% recycled copy paper.

• Our toilet tissue is chlorine-free and is made of 100% recycled fiber.

• We have low-flow shower heads, faucets and toilets.

• We offer bicycles for your sightseeing and recreational enjoyment.

• We encourage our staff members to carpool.
