How can I make a difference?

Another way you could minimise the carbon impact of your trip would be to select a hotel with a demonstrable commitment to sustainability; according to www.greenvacations.com both the Hilton and Marriott hotel chains are good choices.

They report that 94% of Hilton’s energy is from renewable sources and that the chain has several recycling initiatives, including the donation of uneaten food to local food banks.  Meanwhile many Marriott Hotels feature green roofs, (which reduce heating and cooling costs and contribute to making more oxygen in urban environment) and a select few even grow their own produce.  Both these chains are available to book via the Clarity portal. 

Another way to reduce the carbon impact of your trip is to choose a hotel which is close to your destination which could minimise the amount of car travel you need to make during your stay.  You can do this by using the filter “closest to location” when selecting your hotel via the Clarity Portal.
