Seaport Boston Hotel

After a long and delayed bus ride,we finally reached our hotel, the Le Meridien in Boston. We quickly took care of our belongings, and set out for our first appointment. We walked briskly through the rain, to find the closest T station. After a short ride on the subway, we reached the Seaport area of Boston and made our way to the Seaport hotel. As the “Going Green” group, our goal was to find businesses that are globally aware and going in an environmentally friendly direction. We learned that the Seaport Hotel is the most eco-friendly hotel in all of New England, and nationally ranked for its movement forward concerning global climate. We were given a presentation by the “green” coordinator of the hotel, Matt Moore, and learned how their business has gone about being more sustainable, as well as what they hope to do in the future. Some of their big “green” actions include: self-recycling, electrolyzed water, composting through a Bio-EZ machine, and providing complimentary bikes to guests to use instead of motor vehicles.
