Sustainable Hospitality
The state environmental agencies in the Northeast worked with EPA and each other on the development of P2 strategies and tools for lodging facilities and restaurants from 2008 – 2012. These facilities can have a number of environmental impacts associated with energy and water use, wastewater discharges, stormwater runoff, solid waste generation, and others.
In 2008, NEWMOA formed a regional Hospitality Workgroup to enhance the ability of the state and local agencies to implement effective environmental assistance programs for the hospitality industry. The Workgroup held periodic meetings focusing on sharing information and coordinating with EPA and each other for about four years.
This Project was funded by the EPA as part of the Pollution Prevention Resource Exchange (P2Rx).
