HI-DC & THE ENVIRONMENT
We are committed to being stewards of the environment. However, we do not view our environmental responsibility as a destination. Rather, we see it as a continuous journey. Here is a list of things we are doing and that we plan to do in the next year:
• At this time, the only hostel in the world to be Energy Star certified (meaning that its energy consumption is among the lowest of all properties in the economy lodging sector)
• The only hostel in the DC area to be designated an Eco-Friendly hostel by Hostel World
• The lowest water consumption per overnight guest of all HI's Gateway City properties
• Currently renovating all guestrooms using low VOC paint and carpet that is low VOC, made from recycled materials, and is itself 100% recyclable
• Follow a linen re-use program to conserve water (during a hosteller’s stay, linens are washed only by request)
• All paper (office paper, toilet tissue, and hand towels) is from at lest 95% recycled materials
• Recycle Aluminum, Glass, Paper, Plastic, Cardboard, Batteries, and ink/toner cartridges
• Use (and then recycle) compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) throughout the hostel
• Have monthly documentary movie nights on environmental topics
• Have push faucets on all sinks (the timer reduces water consumption)
• Use low-flow aerators on all sink faucets
• Provide environmentally friendly dish soap in the kitchen
• Have all re-usable products in the kitchen and for breakfast (no disposables)
