More Florida hotels than ever have committed to protect Florida’s environment by becoming members of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Green Lodging program.
Recently, 19 hotels were added to the voluntary program, which now has 600 members and 614+ designated properties statewide. Designated members adopt cost-saving green practices to conserve energy, reduce water consumption, protect air quality and reduce waste.
