PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad – With Earth Day quickly approaching on April 22, there’s just one more reason to think about going green. Hyatt Regency Trinidad, one of the Caribbean’s premier business and meetings hotels, is encouraging planners to take advantage of Hyatt’s Meet and Be Green program now and throughout the year.
Planners who pledge to take the following ten steps during their meeting, booked and held before March 31, 2012, will receive a savings of three percent off the Master Bill:
· Use products with 100 percent recycled content
· Print materials locally
· Minimize shipping
· Recycle during the meeting
· Rather than setting materials at every seat, place meeting materials, such as handouts, notepads, pens, etc., in a central location so attendees can take as needed
· Maintain room temperatures at an appropriate level
· Eliminate disposable water bottles
· Minimize use of other disposable products such as plates, cups, napkins, and utensils
· Select locally grown seasonal foods when planning the menu
· Plan ahead for the meeting to make it easier and more economical to keep the meeting green
Meet and Be Green is one part of Hyatt’s larger pledge to conserve energy, minimize waste and create responsible, sustainable corporate practices to care for the earth and guests. By empowering guests to do the same, Hyatt and its planners can help minimize the environmental impact of meetings. Full details of the program and promotion are available at www.hyattmeetings.com.
