At Somewhere Inn , we believe every stay should support not just our guests but also the environment we all cherish. That’s why we’ve introduced a $10 per night climate fund fee, dedicated to initiatives that actively reduce our climate footprint and support a greener, more sustainable future.
Why We’ve Committed to a Climate Fund
The hospitality industry, while creating memorable experiences, can leave a significant environmental impact. From energy consumption to waste management, there are countless areas where change can lead to meaningful results. Our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint and minimizing environmental impact isn’t just about following trends; it’s about our responsibility to the planet. Through our climate fund, every guest directly supports our mission of sustainability and conservation.
Where we are focusing our efforts
The climate fund fee is an essential part of our journey toward a more sustainable operation. Here’s a look at where your support is going:
Energy Efficiency Upgrades
We’re continuously investing in advanced energy solutions to reduce our carbon emissions. High-efficiency lighting, HVAC systems, high-efficiency hot water delivery, insulation, and other innovations help us minimize our energy consumption, translating into a lower carbon footprint and greater energy savings.
Waste Reduction Programs
Waste management is one of the most impactful areas for any hotel. Our fund enables us to implement systems that reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Water Conservation Initiatives
Freshwater is an essential resource, and conserving it is a priority. The climate fund allows us to implement water-saving fixtures, from showers to taps, without compromising our guest experience. By reducing water waste, we’re lowering our environmental impact while maintaining the comfort you expect.
Sustainable Sourcing
From food and beverage offerings to hotel supplies, we prioritize locally sourced and sustainably produced goods. This not only reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting goods but also supports local businesses and reduces waste.
Natural Landscaping and Wildlife Habitats
Our grounds are designed with nature in mind. By growing native meadows, preserving our existing trees, and creating diverse habitats, we support local wildlife and maintain a healthy ecosystem on our property. This natural landscaping reduces the need for excessive watering and chemical treatments, helping to lower our impact on the environment while enhancing the beauty and tranquility of our surroundings.
Why Climate Responsibility Matters
Climate change affects us all, and by making sustainability a core part of our operations, we’re doing our part to create a more resilient future. Supporting eco-friendly practices allows us to meet the demands of today without compromising the resources of tomorrow.
When you stay with us, you’re not only enjoying a memorable experience in a beautiful location, but you’re also contributing to a greener, more sustainable world. At Somewhere Inn, every stay has a lasting impact - for you, our community, and the planet. Thank you for being part of this journey with us! Learn more about how we are doing good here .
