SpaceShare Green Travel -- carpool, community building
SpaceShare Green Travel builds ride- and room-share tools for festivals and conferences. Our sister effort Verdant Event builds complete websites for conferences with greening tools integrated.
Partner with a green hotel - perhaps they'll offer discount rates for festival guests if you recommend them. Look for hotels that are certified by an eco-labeling program such as Green Seal.
Request to reuse your towels and sheets for the duration of your stay.
Turn off lights and cooling/heating when not necessary or doors are open.
Stay away from the mini bar and free toiletries. Instead, bring your own or buy larger quantities to cut down on wasteful packaging. Or, just link to our traveler green hotel tips page.
Even if you face constraints or have no budget for greening, keep asking the hotel representatives about what they are doing to be green. Help make hotels conscious that event planners want green hotels, and there will be more options next year.
