________________________________ From: [log in to unmask] [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Font, Xavier [INT] Sent: 21 July 2004 12:45 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: greenhotelier july 2004 issue Waste not want not - even your loo rolls! The latest issue of greenhotelier magazine tackles consumption in tourism from both ends of the chain - with features on how to 'green' your purchasing by working with suppliers and how to improve waste management. Did you know that some hotels separate their waste into as many as 15 fractions for recycling? Or that in Japan, the Hilton Tokyo Bay has designed a device to enable unused toilet tissue in rolls too small to be used for guest rooms to be wound together so it is not wasted! One hotel in Canada even makes worn bedcovers into mini blankets and pillows for its fourlegged guests! Features in the July issue include: * Green purchasing and sustainable supply chains - the driving forces behind responsible practice, supply chains in the tourism industry and how to work practically with all tourism suppliers (accommodation, transport, ground handlers, representatives, excursions, food providers and entire destinations) to raise standards. Includes contributions from the United Nations Environment Programme, Leeds Metropolitan University, the National Trust, Accor and other large and small hotel operators. * Better waste management - Why and how to reduce, recover, reuse and recycle, together with a comprehensive list of the kinds of waste created by the hospitality industry and how to deal with them. * How hotels and restaurants around the world are responding to the issue of smoking in public places. In the Middle East for example, Radisson SAS Hotels and Resorts are encouraging guests and staff to 'kick the habit' for one day a month. * How to become involved in Hotels Environment Action Month (HEAM) which takes place in September following its successful first year in 2003. With news from around the world, case studies to follow, sources of information, international events and deadlines for awards to enter, greenhotelier aims to inspire, educate and challenge everyone connected with the hospitality, travel and tourism industry to achieve more sustainable operation.
