San Diego's Western Inn Old Town San Diego Awarded the Prestigious Green Eco-Leaf Rating
Western Inn Old Town San Diego has earned a 2 Green Eco-Leaf Rating this week by completing a 70 point comprehensive eco-audit survey administered by iStayGreen.org - the online social network of environmentally friendly travel.
San Diego, CA December 26, 2008 - Western Inn Old Town San Diego becomes one of 7 lodging properties in San Diego, CA to receive the Green Eco-Leaf Rating. Currently 15 hotels in San Diego (http://www.istaygreen.org/getcityus.cfm/city/San Diego/st/CA) have been rated environmentally friendly, and Western Inn Old Town San Diego is one of 7 lodging properties to complete the comprehensive environmental audit administered by iStayGreen.org. The property earned 2 Green Eco-Leafs, which is a "Good" rating.
All Green Eco-Leaf Rated properties are committed to environmentally friendly initiatives. Richard Varner, founder of iStayGreen.org states: "Simple changes helped Western Inn Old Town San Diego earn their 2 Green Eco-Leaf Rating and become one of 7 lodging properties rated. It's great to see they're intent on insuring a more sustainable future in travel."
To insure a more sustainable future some of the eco-initiatives put in-place at the property include: low energy lighting initiatives are in-place - energy efficient lighting is installed when replacing old lighting - sheets reuse option for multiple night stays - towels reuse option for multiple night stays - water conservation initiatives are in-place - water conserving devices are installed when replacing old fixtures - recycle containers are located inside guestrooms - recycle containers are located around the property common areas - recycled paper products (bath tissue, facial tissue, paper towels, napkins, etc) are utilized - environmentally friendly chemicals are used in cleaning - environmentally friendly detergents are used for laundry - environmentally friendly chemicals are used for carpet cleaning - the entire property is non-smoking - plus much more. The complete audit can be viewed at Western Inn Old Town San Diego Environmental Self-Audit (http://www.istaygreen.org/ecoaudit.cfm/hid/11245697).
The lodging industry recognizes the need to create a sustainable future for travel. While the Western Inn Old Town San Diego is one of 7 San Diego lodging properties to achieve the Green Eco-Leaf Rating, it is anticipated that many other properties in the area that are promoting eco-friendly initiatives also will seek to be rated. This eco-rating allows the public to know the specific environmental initiatives in place at a property, which enables the environmentally conscious traveler to make informed lodging decisions.
