Energy Efficient Honolulu

Yes, Energy Efficient Honolulu ... not generally most people's top priority while they are on vacation in Hawaii but it's an important step in keeping our island paradise beautiful. During your island holiday you can still save energy and help the environment.

Limit Maid Service

If you don't need towels and sheets changed everyday, call housekeeping and let them know you won't need maid service. By doing less laundry, Honolulu Hotels use less energy and less hot water which is good for the environment. Yes, you will still pay the same rate while you save the Honolulu hotel money but the important thing is that you will be helping keep the environment clean.

Many Hawaii hotels have a policy about when to change bath towels. If the towels are on the floor, the guest wants fresh towels. If the towels are hung up, the guest will use them again.


New towels: yes

New towels: no

Turn Off The Lights and Television

It's easy to forget about turning things off so as not to waste energy when someone else is paying the energy bill. Many hotels leave lights and televisions on for their guests' arrival which is a nice touch but wasteful. Just like at home, there's no need to leave lights and televisions on while you are out. Turning things off when not in use is energy efficient and simple no matter where you are, even on vacation in Hawaii!

Find Out About Hotel Energy Saving Programs

Many hotels in Honolulu really are doing their part by conserving energy and participating in other conservation programs. Find out if the places you want to stay recycle, use energy efficient lighting or save energy or are involved in any conservation activities, especially local activities on Oahu. You might have to ask more than one person to find out and can sometimes get information from hotel websites.

Never take a vacation from being energy efficient. Thank you for helping protect this island paradise and for being Energy Efficient Honolulu!
