Recycling: Recycling on Your Travel
Here are a few ideas for families that are traveling and still want to stay in their recycle-conscious state of mind.
There are airlines that offer electronic ticketing and by using these services will cut back on the paper waste generated by the airline, on a daily basis. There are even some airlines that charge a fee if you have lost a paper ticket, so rid yourself of any of those problems by opting for the paper-less airline ticket options.
Traveling with the family can be a joyous experience and there is no reason to leave your recycling attitudes at home; you can do your part even when you're far from the comforts of home.
Be sure to turn off all lights when you are leaving the hotel room, and any TVs or radios that may be plugged in and running. It's easy to be distracted in a space that is not your home and it would be just as easy to forget the ways you conserve energy at home when you're not there. If you find you leave the room with a light on, leave yourself a note right by the door, reminding yourself to check the lights before you walk out the door. There are some hotels that even do this for you, where they have a magnet that they leave on the door, at eye level, reminding you if you've turned off the lights.
Instead of leaving the light (and fan) on overnight, bring a little nightlight with you and you will save a lot by not running a rooms full light (and fan) on while you sleep. Have a permanent marker with you and assign one of the plastic cups to each person in your family when you arrive at the room. There is no reason to have dishwashing services when the plastic cups are sanitary and are perfectly capable of being reused. Avoid room service for the same reason, there is no need to have excess dishes to wash that would normally not be used. When you eat in the restaurant, they're already doing the dishes there.
Even hotels recycle
Some hotels are becoming environmentally friendly by letting guests know that they will only clean the room upon request; that cuts down on the amount of laundry that needs to be washed, electricity that needs to be used to vacuum and the man power itself, that it needs in order to accommodate for daily cleaning.
Hospitality venues that are using all kinds of measures to cut back on our waste and are environmentally contentious should be the places we choose to stay. If we, as concerned consumers, take a stand and only patronize hotels and motels and B&Bs that are taking the idea of recycling to heart and have made changes to help the Earth, the more hotels will realize that we know how to exercise our choice and will do so even when we are away from home.
