I doubt the Princess really understood the difference their waste oil contribution would make when they agreed to work with Green Dining Network, yet in less than a year, their environmental decision affected our Arizona air quality by essentially taking five cars off the road for one year....and that's not all.
What separates the Fairmont Princess from mainstream is their recognition of the value of creating a "green" team mindset and integrating these values as a celebratory rally of the troops. Raising awareness and utilizing green initiatives to strengthen their internal team culture identifies the Fairmont Princess as taking a pivotal role in educating and supporting the importance of every individual action. We can all make a significant difference with one small step. Fairmont Princess appears to make a difference in many ways, helping to clean our air and creating an internal culture that is positive, proactive and empowering!
*In the first 10 months of 2009, Fairmont Princess has recycled over 212,700 pounds of solid wastes. As a result of plumbing redesign, they have lowered water consumption by 15%. Fairmont Hotels and Resorts are involved with several conservation efforts including their own, "Green Partnership", "Eco Meet", World Wildlife Fund, and the Energy Star Program.
