How to Green a Hotel – A Case Study of Hotel Mocking Bird Hill

Hotel Mocking Bird Hill, Portland

Here’s the link to Barbara Walker’s presentation made at the recent ECCO Magazine’s Green conference.

The presentation was entitled “Reducing Carbon Emissions Through Sustainable Living” and focused on the procedures and management strategies implemented to make Hotel Mocking Bird Hill a “green” hotel.

Barbara is the co-owner and manager of Hotel Mocking Bird Hill in Portland, probably the most environmentally friendly and responsible hotel in Jamaica.

The hotel has won numerous environmental awards including the Virgin Holidays Most Responsible Tourism Hotel Award for 2010.

No air conditioning, mini bars, or plastic straws!

    With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My site
    has a lot of unique content I’ve either authored myself or
    outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you
    know any techniques to help reduce content from being ripped off?
    I’d truly appreciate it.

    I love your blog, Karin. I am very impressed. Mine is not quite so ambitious as I only write a sort of fictionalised version of events in our community garden.
