Lights out at the El Cordova Hotel last Saturday night in support of Global Earth Hour. Lobby is pictured above.
Coronado’s El Coronado Hotel participated in Global Earth Hour and showed their support by ‘turning out the lights’ last Saturday (March 26th) at 8:30pm. Bob Rauch (HotelGuru.com) shared the following information:
Our guests turned off their room lights and we operated without electricity for an hour to show our support for cutting back on energy costs and helping to save our planet. Guest reactions were highly positive. This was not a political statement, merely showing concern that we have limited fossil fuel resources and need to be aware of the need to conserve.
The El Coronado Hotel is also working towards getting certified with LightStay. In addition we are doing the following:
– recycling in common areas and back of house
– changed out all light bulbs to the new cfl
– switched to green laundry detergent
– recycling used cooking oil
– already have in place a linen re-use program
– considering a composting program
