appreciate it if you could help us.
Most of the waste in [insert destination name]______ currently goes to landfill [replace text as

we believe we have a responsibility to help reduce it.

Think twice before using plastic straws.
Thousands of plastic cups are used by the hotel each season in the swimming pool area.
o If you use a plastic cup, please refill it rather than taking a fresh one.
o Make sure you don’t accidentally take 2 or 3 at once
Bin liners are only provided in your bathroom bin in your room, so if you have anything
messy to dispose of, please put it in the bin in your bathroom. [delete or replace this text if
you are not implementing this plastics reduction measure]
If you go shopping whilst on holiday, you can reuse plastic bags rather than getting new ones
every time you shop; or even better buy a reusable bag which you can buy in most souvenir
shops [replace this text if providing reusable bags]
[Insert destination name]_____ is a hot country and it is important that you keep hydrated.
However to reduce the number of plastic bottles you use, you can request glasses of water
from the bar, refilling them on request.
If you are using disposable plates and plastic cutlery by the pool area please be aware that
they will end up in landfill, so use only what you need.
If you are not bothered about having plastic decorations or straws in your cocktails, please
inform the bar staff.
If you are using the toiletries supplied by the hotel, please make sure you use the whole
contents before disposing of it.
If you can see more ways in which the hotel can reduce plastic waste, please let the staff on
reception know so they can pass your suggestions on to the manager.
By taking part you will be making a huge difference to the reduction of plastic waste in [insert
destination name] ______.
Together we are caring for the places you love to visit, so that resorts like this one can still be
enjoyed by future generations of visitors.
Thank you so much for taking part.
