WHY We discard about 25% more trash between Thanksgiving & New Year's in the US than the rest of the year. We will reduce waste by reusing holiday decor.
HOW Let's decorate with decor we already own. Don't have any? Avoid plastics. Opt for locally-made reusables like glass, metal, ceramics or responsibly-sourced wood. | | ON THIS TIP
From subscribers Janet V:
"Because housekeepers, usually women of color, make poverty wages and rely on tips, please encourage people to double-tip on days they refuse service. A couple of dollars makes a huge difference for them and they're often paid per room they clean. We're all part of many interdependent webs."
From Subscriber Ann-Marie N:
"You can also request housekeeping to not come during your stay! Through Marriott hotel chains, you can also enroll in "green choice" through the app. This will automatically lengthen the time between cleanings and gives you bonus points!" Thanks, Janet and Ann-Marie! | | | |
