Last week I mentioned that I am putting together a page on my site called “Hotel & Management Company Green Pages.” You can now click here to see it. I heard from a few of you with links to pages and I am pleased to announce that the page on my site is now up to 49 links. It is still very much a work in progress but there is now a prominent link to the page in the upper right area of the Green Lodging News website home page. There is also now a link on the left side of the weekly e-newsletter. Please be sure to visit the page and let me know those company pages that I have missed. I did hear from a few people this past week who wanted me to link to pages at individual property websites. At this time I am only interested in adding links to green pages (environment, CSR, etc.) for those companies that have multiple properties.

When you have some free time, take a tour of the various company sites. Some are deep with information while others are just quick one-page summaries. Some include links to sustainability reports. Many sites are rich with relevant news articles and case studies. Some companies have formally named their sustainability programs while others have not. Some sites include blogs, videos, and opportunities to join social networks. Some offer opportunities to sign up for news updates. I will look forward to continuing to build this part of the Green Lodging News website.

Green Lodging News is now a portal for news content, certification programs, industry videos, green organizations, hotel schools, and hotel and management company green pages. If you would like to see another type of list added to the Green Lodging News site, don’t hesitate to contact me.

Looking for Guest Columnists

Every two weeks Green Lodging News posts a new guest column on its website. (Click here for examples.) The guest column also appears in the weekly e-newsletter. Green Lodging News is currently in need of industry experts to contribute occasional guest columns. Experts may include consultants, architects, designers, suppliers and those who own or operate green lodging establishments. Columns may be articles that take a stance on a particular subject or be strictly educational in nature. Columnists benefit by having their photo included along with a one paragraph description of their company. Interested in writing a column? Contact Glenn Hasek, publisher and editor, at (216) 848-1406, or by e-mail at editor@greenlodgingnews.com.
