We all are well aware about the adverse effect of global warming on the mother Earth and also know that it will continue for centuries if something really appreciable is not applied against it. Not only that global warming and other issues like imbalanced ecology, disturbed food chain and so on are more or less co-related with each other. One’s consequence is the cause of another problem which gradually ends up making a chain reaction of troubles.
Moreover, we all know that one of the biggest step to all such problems is to promote as much as greenery possible on Earth and conserve as much as energy we can. And to uproot this problem simple plantation campaign is not going to help. We actually need to start thinking green. All the sectors like hospitality, government sectors should adopt a meaningful and positive step to turn into green.
And one of the most appreciable and advantageous step towards conserving the environment is the “Environmental hotels” or the Green Hotels”. These hotels are meant for recreating and refreshing the visitors and also maintaining the ecological balance and saving the greenery. Infact the features of the environmental hotels are the solution for global warming, imbalanced ecology and so on.
Sustainable solutions and environmental tips for green Hotels:
There are immense ways and tips for hotels to conserve energy and become environmentally responsible such as energy conservation system application, recycling waste products etc. Some of these Sustainable solutions and environmental tips are mentioned below:-
Start planting an organic garden to supply fresh produce to their guest. Planting those plants which consume less water. Start installing sink aerators and low-flow showerheads. Start using towels and sheets made from linen instead of thousands of napkins. Start using compact fluorescent lights and timers or sensors in them for less frequently used areas. Start using a compost bin for leftover food or simply give it to a local nonprofit organization. Start buying guest amenities and food in bulk.
Participation in Green Programs:
Participating in a green program and executing the sufficient green actions is more important rather than just becoming a member of green association. Just by getting involved in a certification program does not guarantee as much green action as performed by the program. And the environment would become territory for tranquility and peace which would be free from pollution and global warming.
Eventually we can say that becoming green actually means acting green as in to make greenery a part of daily life common activities. The positive revolution of these environmental hotels in the field hospitality sector is for sure going to change our environmental condition a far more better than what it is today.

Environmental hotel: A fight against Global warming
December 17th, 2009Green Light for Environmental Stewardship
September 19th, 2009Nature is our biggest asset and a gift of God to us. But unfortunately we are slowly losing it due to our ignorance. We do not give much thought when we through litter pollute our air or make too much noise. All these and other factors are the main reasons which are damaging the nature. And the sad part is that none of us is taking responsibility of this act. There are only a few organizations who are working towards preserving the nature. Most of the organizations that are working towards preserving the nature are doing so privately. But there are few like Natural England who is backed up by Government as well. This shows that the organization is really committed towards achieving its goals.
Environmentalists are becoming more and more concerned about the decrease in the greenery around the world. We all know that we need greenery as much as we need water. Recently, governments from around the world have also started taking steps to protect the environment. The England Government recently announced Environmental Stewardship scheme. The scheme has been accepting applications from 1 January 2007.
This scheme is open to every farmer and land manager. Almost 3.5 millions have been brought in by 25,000 Entry Level Stewards (ELS) under environment management. There is also another targeted scheme under the name of Higher Level Scheme (HLS). This scheme only supports the highest quality applicants. Recent years have seen Natural England accept almost 1,000 HLS which covers 65,000 hectares. All ELS and HLS applications need to be approved from the new Rural Development Programme.
Natural England is actually an organization that works for conservation of people, natural beauty, wildlife and biodiversity. The organization is working towards managing the nature in such a way that it is preserved for our present as well as future generations. Natural England has divided its goals into four strategies, these are stated as below:
Conserve and enhance the natural environment of England
Make the natural environment such that people enjoy it more.
Manage and use the natural environment.
Make such decisions that they secure the future of the natural environment.
Environmental organization plans and manages its practices in such a way that they will benefit the natural wildlife. Due to all the contributions Natural England have made to the conservation of nature it is now considered as the statutory adviser of the Government. It responsibilities include natural parks, Heritage Coasts and Areas of Natural Beauty. Natural England is not only responsible for conserving the landscapes and wildlife but also the marine and coastal life. It is running many natural programs that focus on different parts of nature.
It is up to us as well to ensure that these and other such organizations keep working. We can also contribute towards their cause by helping them. You do not need to do much even planting a small tree is more then enough. It is also our moral duty to ensure that our future generations are able to enjoy the nature as we are able to do today.
