Going Green
Hotel Pacific has gone green in a number of ways - some
visible to guests, others behind the scenes.
Here are some of
the ways Hotel Pacific works at:
Protecting The
Environment
- Head chef
Sayeeda Khanam uses local food purveyors and local
ingredients, thereby saving on
"food miles" (the distance
food has to travel from supplier to destination).
- All
in-room linen is cleaned with hydrogen peroxide instead of
harmful bleaches.
- Using
local office supply companies, for all hotel office
supplies. This saves kilometers of transporting
and shipping
supplies, helping prevent harm to the ozone.
Saving Energy
- Compact
and energy-efficient fluorescents are used throughout the
property, including guest rooms.
- Every
vacant guest room has the drapes closed to reduce sunlight
and heat, thereby saving on air conditioning environmental
effects.
Conserving
Natural Resources
- All shower
heads and toilets are low-flow.
- Guests
have the option of conserving water by reusing their towels
and bed linens.
- The
hotel's recycled magazines, phone books, cardboard, cans and
bottles average 1 ton per month.
- Using
recycled paper for printed materials.
