In these slides are some memorable quotes from a podcast interview with Steve Farzam discussing eco-friendly systems in the hospitality, including some of the systems and procedures implemented at the Shore Hotel.

1. Eco-friendly
Systems

2. "IT ESSENTIALLY ESTABLISHES A
BAR FOR A MORE RESPONSIBLE
CARBON FOOTPRINT THAT WE
ALL LEAVE BEHIND."
"EVERYBODY GETTING
TOGETHER AND MAKING A
DIFFERENCE REALLY HAS A
BIGGER CHANGE FOR THE
WHOLE."

3. "ON THOSE DAYS WHERE
THERE’S A CRITICAL PEAK
NEED, WITHOUT ANY HUMAN
INTERVENTION, THE HOTEL
RECEIVES AN AUTOMATED
RESPONSE AND WE ARE ABLE
TO SHED OUR LOAD BY
NEARLY 60 PERCENT."

4. "I THINK [COGENERATION IS]
UNDER-UTILIZED AND NOT A LOT OF
PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT IT, AND I
REALLY SEE IT COMING TO THE
RESIDENTIAL SIDE OF HOMES
MAYBE IN THE NEXT 10 TO 15
YEARS."
"IT IS VERY EFFICIENT, IT’S VERY
RESOURCEFUL, AND IT’S JUST AN
AMAZING TOOL"

5. "WE TELL THE GUESTS FOR EVERY
DAY THAT YOU CHOOSE TO NOT
HAVE ROOM SERVICE, WE WILL
GIVE YOU TEN DOLLARS."
"IN TERMS OF REALLY TURNING THE
WHOLE ROOM AROUND AND
CLEANING IT OUT WHEN MOST
GUESTS PROBABLY DON’T EVEN
WANT IT, WE DECIDED TO
INCENTIVIZE THEM..."

6. "WE ALSO OFFER A FLEET OF ECO-
FRIENDLY VEHICLES AND WE HAVE
ALSO A CHARGING STATION AT
THE HOTEL. WE WERE THE FIRST
HOTEL IN CALIFORNIA TO HAVE A
LEVEL TWO FAST CHARGE."
"[WE PROVIDE] THEM BICYCLES
FOR THEIR FAMILY TO TAKE A RIDE
INSTEAD OF DOING A RIDE SHARE
OR RENTING A CAR, THOSE KINDS
OF OPTIONS."
