Traveling green has many benefits, including reducing your carbon footprint, diverting waste from landfills, and saving limited resources. Here are just a few ways we're helping you make that change.

	Guest Room Recycling. Your guestroom includes a blue recycle bin where we encourage you to recycle the following items: Paper items - such as newspapers, brochures, magazines, note paper, cardboard, cartons, envelopes or wrapping paper Bottles and Cans - such as aluminum cans or foil, glass bottles or jars (including metal caps and lids), empty spray cans or tin cans Plastics - such as plastic bottles, lids, containers, cups, plates or toys
	Energy Efficient Lighting. Your guestroom, along with most of the hotel, is equipped with energy efficient compact florescent lighting fixtures. We encourage you to turn off all lighting before departing your room each day. To assist with energy conservation, guestrooms on our 4th floor include a motion sensor which will automatically shut off your air conditioning unit when you leave your room. We will be adding this capability to other floors in the near future.
	Organic Composting. San Francisco was the first large city in the U.S. to collect food scraps for composting. Today, hundreds of thousands of residents and about 2,000 businesses, including Sheraton Fisherman's Wharf, send over 300 tons of material each day to a composting facility. Food scraps, plant trimmings, soiled paper, and other compostables are turned into a rich soil that helps produce the organic food and wine that San Francisco is famous for.
	Make a Green Choice. To best meet your needs, we give you the choice of how often your linens and towels are laundered. By laundering only when requested, we reduce chlorine, detergent and water use. If you would like fresh linens, locate the "Time for a Change" card in your room and place this card on your bed in the morning.
