I do not remember seeing them posted anywhere, it would be good to have them in a location where employees would see them often (i.e. bathroom).

You could look to locally derived carbon offsets (i.e. Hawaiian Legacy Hardwoods) as an alternative. Also you could integrate fuel efficient driving habits into your very thorough training program (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fueleconomy.gov\/feg\/driveHabits.jsp\">http:\/\/www.fueleconomy.gov\/feg\/driveHabits.jsp<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>Guide training and continuing education is clearly a focus of the organization which results in very informative and fascinating tours leaving guests with an experience they could not have had on their own.<\/p>\n<p>Your consumer research report was very extensive and highlights your commitment to a positive guest experience.<\/p>\n<p>Good job using reusable dish-ware.
