The Garden State Green Hotels Project is a project of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) tasked with pursuing goals crucial to sustainability. We are featuring the Green Hotels Project because of the services it lends to businesses to support travel sustainability while simultaneously saving businesses money.

The project has some big time goals-

With a grant from the EPA, the project is determined to:

Reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Reduce water usage and limit natural resource use.

Reduce solid waste generation .

- and it offers services to

businesses to achieve them

These are:

1. Printed & electronic informational material

2. Workshops and conferences (4 separate events)
