Sustainability: What Are We Doing?

Hello Hostelers! I'm sure you have noticed that our hostel offers recycling stations all across the hostel. That must make us a green hostel, right?
Well, The fun part is we do more than just recycle! We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint in many different ways.



Here is how we are trying to make a difference:

  • Purchase wind energy
  • Using recycled paper and paper products
  • Reducing our paper usage by using electronics
  • Switching to green cleaning products, both surface and laundry
  • Using low-flow shower heads and faucet aerators
  • Purchasing an easy-full water bottle fountain for the second floor
  • Utilizing LED lights around the hostel
  • Installing sensors to automatically turn off lights in some offices, common rooms, and closets
  • Using biodegradable trash bag liners
  • Vending machines are energy smart
  • Encourage public transportation, walking, and biking to see the city
Please help the hostel protect the planet! Join us in encouraging travelers to be conscious of their environmental impact. Live and love green and travel often!
