GOING GREEN
AT THE 2400 MOTEL
Green initiatives at the 2400 Motel
At the 2400 Motel, we strive to minimize our carbon footprint and provide our guests with green amenities. We are always looking at opportunities through both our exterior and interior spaces, and will update this page as we have more to tell!
Stay tuned for our next green initiatives.
Update on our latest Go Green Initiatives:
The use of eco-friendly towels and recycled microfiber sheets
In order to remain committed to the environment, w
e decided to use eco friendly towels that are quickly dry and recycled microfiber sheets that are 100% recycled polyester certified by the Global Recycled Standard (GRS).
Upgrade to ECO Flooring
To further our green initiatives, we have source
d eco-friendly flooring for our rooms and suites and have already begun upgrading them. Using sustainable flooring reduces our carbon footprint in a simple, yet effective way. This flooring option is PEFC certified, and is a low emissions product.
We have received the Travel Sustainable Badge!
Our partners at Booking.com awarded us the Travel Sustainable Badge!
The program has been created to encourage the travel industry to act more sustainably and to make it easier for travelers to make sustainable booking choices. We are constantly working to ensure our company is more environmentally friendly, and it’s wonderful to be recognized for our efforts.
We took the Unesco Travel Pledge!
We are proud to announce that we have signed the UNESCO Sustainable Travel Pledge!
Our pledge commits us to do our part to reduce our impact on the environment, raise awareness about the importance of sustainable tourism to travelers, and help them make more sustainable travel choices.
Upgrade to LED lighting
The interior, exterior, and back of the house lighting has been upgraded to LED.
LED lighting will significantly increase energy efficiency at the Motel, as lighting consumes a large portion of the Motel’s energy. In turn, energy consumption (from lighting) and carbon footprint will be lowered immediately.
Environmentally friendly bathroom amenities from Earth Tempo
The Earth Tempo line uses gentle 100% paraben-free formulas which protect the water and waste streams. Soaps contain pure vegetable base with accessories packaged in recycled paper containing natural soy inks. To give nature an extra boost, this green line has blended the tubes and caps with a non-toxic compound known as, Envo-Clean® which biodegrades in a typical landfill.
Environmentally friendly shower and faucet heads
In order to reduce water usage at the motel, Ecofitt recently replaced all of our faucets and showerheads.
