Today I’m delighted to be joined by Melissa Gooding who is the Sustainability & Communications Specialist at the Lamington Group which operates the world’s first fully net zero ho(me)tel.
Sustainability has been included throughout room2 Chiswick to enhance and protect the environment we operate in. They have done the hard work with no compromises on quality or comfort, so that the guests which stay can be proud to be supporting the shift to a greener future.
Taking care of local communities extends to the global communities, by tackling the world’s biggest threat, climate change. Room2 Chiswick has set a new industry standard, to be 100% net zero carbon from the construction, operation and eventual deconstruction of the entire building and operation.
In this episode I speak to Melissa about the philosophy behind Room2, what the quick wins were, what’s next on their journey and we even spoke about climate change anxiety – something which is increasingly affecting us all.
And if you’d like to learn more about Room2 Chiswick, I highly recommend you visit their website at room2.com where you can also find the link to the video of Robert at the bamboo carbon off-setting project – it’s well worth a watch.
And you can join Melissa, Room2 Chiswick and hundreds more like-minded travel businesses and individuals by joining Climate Friendly Travel and indeed becoming an ambassador by signing up free of charge to join The SunX Registry at , climatefriendly.travel or email us at info@thesunprogram.com
That’s our show for this week. Thanks so much for your company and remember, when it comes to Climate Friendly Travel, every small step forward, is giant stride when we all step together…
