Boston, MA Hotel Announces Green Partnership With Clean The World

PRLog (Press Release) - Aug 11, 2011 - Boston, MA – The Westin Boston Waterfront has partnered with Clean the World to reduce global disease by recycling hotel soap products.

The Clean the World program recycles bar soap, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and bath gels discarded by hotels, which are re-milled into new amenity products and distributed to countries with hygiene epidemics. Thousands of North American hotels discard millions of pounds of soap and shampoo on a daily basis.

Each year more than five million deaths occur from lack of proper hygiene, with the majority among children under five years old. Simple hand washing can reduce the spread of disease, amazingly, the essential items for proper hand washing are not available to millions worldwide.

His most recent project is a collaboration with CJ Snare, “Rubicon Cross,” as well as writing an instrumental album yet to be released.

“Live From Music City” reaches and appeals to singers/musicians who have achieved at least mid-level entry points in their careers. We try to help the artists define the steps they need to take to advance their careers.

We discuss a variety of topics through commentary and with guests to showcase their roles within the performing and recording industry. We also focus on the music business from the perspective of service to the artist, as well as how the artist can achieve the next levels of success.

While we concentrate on the roles of the “insiders,” we will also include recording artists themselves to better understand and explore the relationship between the two."

To address these concerns, the Green Bride Guides screens all vendors in the directory and displays their green practices in their profiles. Shop to be Green has received a 5 leaf rating from the Green Bride Guide.  

“Providing couples who are planning their special day with high quality and beautiful products that they will cherish for years is very important to Shop to be Green.

More than 50% of their products are handmade by small local family businesses within the United States.

“When my husband Barry and I were planning our wedding in 2006-07, we were surprised by how little information was available to help us make eco-friendly choices. That’s why I’m excited to be able to offer couples the Green Bride Guide Directory,” said Kate Harrison.  “By including vendors like Shop to be Green, couples will know that they are working with a vetted green vendor who truly values the environment. Since more than 50% of the wedding budget is spent at the local level, the Directory is an essential tool for couples looking to support the local green economy.”
