Hi hosts and happy "Plastic Free July"
Have you heard of Plastic Free July, it is a movement around the world that aims to help people lower their consumption of plastic.
As hosts there are things we can do in our listings to help our guests lower there plastic consumption and may go on to inspire a guest to then incorporate this into there every day life.
Have you made any changes to your listing to lower the plastic usage for your guests when staying?
Have any of your guests commented on these initiatives?
I know that we are not the only ones doing this and I now see that more and more hotels are also moving away from single use items.
A few of the things we offer a few things to guests are
Reusable shopping bags
Reusable water bottles and coffee cups
Refillable liquid soap, shampoo, conditioner, dishwashing liquid, and others
Metal clothes pegs and washing baskets made from natural plants (cane and raffia)
To help keep containers being used and not thrown away we have a small sticky table on items that can be refilled. It't not fool proof but it helps!
Changes do not happen over night and small steps add up over time. Have you thought about reducing plastic usage in your listing? What do you offer in your listing? What do your guests say?
