In keeping with DH&R's corporate Destination Earth program, Hamilton Park's most recent efforts to become more eco-friendly include:

• A coaster that doubles as a water preserver for meeting room set-ups. When placed over the neck of the bottle, the water saver says: "place this saver over your water bottle and our staff will not remove it, conserving water and saving resources for future recycling." Since its inception, meeting attendees have consumed 25% fewer bottles of water each month, resulting in less plastic waste and significant cost savings for the New Jersey conference centre.
• Encouraging meeting attendees to use the Hotel's Poland Spring® 5 gallon water cooler for refills during breaks.
• Collecting left behind waste paper from meetings and hotel offices and placing it in locked shredder boxes to ensure client and hotel privacy.
• A rooftop economizer that pulls in outside air and uses it to cool meeting rooms in a more eco-friendly way.
• New Jersey Wheels Program -- Hamilton Park employees participate in this environmentally friendly program that uses fewer cars on the road and gets them to work more efficiently and economically.
• Daily menus that feature the best of local fresh produce, including New Jersey's famous tomatoes and corn, and such delicacies as fiddlehead ferns and bread from local bakers. Chef Ron Roccasecca, who is passionate about local and sustainable produce, ensures quality control.
• Redesigning the housekeeping department's hanger stackers and bell closets to recycle wire hangers. Hangers are returned to the dry cleaners for future use.
• Switching bathroom amenities to Ecossential Elements® bath products made with organic natural ingredients.
• Recycling newspapers, cardboard boxes, plastic and glass in an eco-friendly manner.

Additional eco-friendly programs and savings innovations are planned for later this year.
