Green Lodging and Venues in Palm Beach County

Tips for a 
"Green" Vacation

Keep showers short.

Turn off the water while you're brushing your teeth.

When you leave the room, turn off the air conditioning, heat, television, lights or any other electric devices.

Reuse your sheets and towels instead of having them changed every day. 

Bring your own toiletries and drinking cup rather than using the prepackaged ones provided. 

Express your appreciation to the hotel for any eco-friendly programs it currently offers -- or if it doesn't, encourage the management to go green in the future.
