Hosting a new property and owner wants it to be as environmentally sustainable as possible. Is there a good resource to study specific to the STR world?

@Doug MacMaster As terrible as booking.com is at most things, the one thing they have covered very thoroughly is sustainability. If you have any listings with them you can go through a lengthy survey for each property and get a score from them on how you’re doing. Here’s their sustainability resource page for hosts:

I don’t know of a website but I have explored this idea before. I usually just get frustrated because things cost more or it is more work for housekeeping and in this world I am trying to figure out how to reduce cost and make things easier for cleaners.

@MoniqueD we’re still negotiating with this property owner about hosting. Told them our commission would be slightly higher to cover the increased supplies cost.
