TALLAHASSEE "The Florida Department of Environmental Protections (DEP) Florida Green Lodging Program reached a new shade of green this week by designating its first Three Palm property, the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point in Bonita Springs, in addition to seven One Palm designations. The Three Palm designation is the highest achievement in the program and recognizes continuing and increased energy conservation and pollution prevention measures. The voluntary state initiative provides the lodging industry with free technical assistance, encouraging hotels and motels to adopt cost-saving green practices that reduce waste, conserve natural resources and improve the bottom line.

We applaud the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point for their efforts to help protect Floridas natural resources by adopting measures that reduce waste, and conserve water and energy, said DEP Director of Sustainable Initiatives Deas Bohn. The Hyatt is a pioneer in the green movement and is setting a valuable example for other lodging facilities to become environmental stewards and achieve the highest level of green.

To receive the Three Palm designation, hotels must have maintained Two Palm designation and demonstrated continual improvement for three consecutive years. A facility must continue to maintain or improve on their commitment to environmental protection in order to maintain the Florida Green Lodging program Three Palm designation.

Since its One Palm designation in 2004 and Two Palm designation in 2006, they Hyatt Regency Coconut Point has taken many steps to become clean and green. Overall the property has achieved a 33 percent reduction in water usage, 6 percent reduction in energy consumption and a 12 percent waste reduction. These reductions were achieved in a variety of ways, such as removing phone books from guest rooms, implementing a paperless purchase order system and paperless guest check in, replacing disposable cups with plastic cups, changing all garage lighting to compact fluorescent lighting and implementing recycling in the employee cafeteria. In addition the property has taken strides to improve its indoor air quality by using Ecolab Bio-friendly cleaning products for housekeeping.
