Going green is much more than measuring a carbon footprint. Once we’ve measured and reduced the carbon footprints of our properties – the energy saving, water conservation and waste management - what about everything else? Everything we use every day?

Great ‘greening’ tips for the Hospitality industry but can easily be adapted for your office and home.

Lorraine Jenks,  founder of Hotelstuff/Greenstuff, started her green journey in the 70s when living in California as a hippie and working with environmentalists in the early days of the Environmental Protection Act. Lorraine lived ‘green’, conserving water, saving energy, recycling and rejecting anything synthetic, and so discovered her passion for environmental concerns.

She returned to South Africa and joined Africa’s largest hotel group,  Southern Sun, as Purchasing Contracts Manager, with a mere 82 hotels under her wing. For the next 15 years, Lorraine struggled to instigate green procurement practices. In those days, ‘going green’ was just an interesting idea, not a life or death decision for the planet.
