With Earth Day just around the corner, we wanted to provide a comprehensive list of ways every Hermosa-goer can help keep our beautiful city clean and pristine. Read on for our best advice!

Pick Up Trash On The Beach/Strand:

Spend a couple of hours enjoying a sunny day at the beach! While you’re basking in the rays, challenge yourself to pick up any pieces of trash you might spot throughout the day.

Shop At The Local Zero Waste Store:

Practical Magic Apothecary is the perfect place to get your essentials without contributing to environmental degradation. Their jewelry, cocktail kits, and candles are some of our favorite products available for purchase!

Walk, Bike, Skate, Or Scoot:

Changing your driving habits can dramatically reduce your carbon footprint. Try to walk, bike, skate or scoot whenever possible! With such a lively city to explore, choosing one of these transportation options will help you take advantage of Hermosa's unique ambiance.

Bring Your Own Bags/Bottles:

Today, billions of pounds of plastic in about 40% of the world’s ocean surfaces. Every year thousands of seabirds, sea turtles, seals and other marine mammals are killed after ingesting plastic or getting tangled up in it. You can start cutting down on your plastic waste in a few simple steps: use reusable bags when you shop, ditch single-use water bottles, bags and straws, and avoid products made from or packaged in plastic whenever possible.

Make Your Home Green:

Ensuring that your home has amenities like adequate insulation, energy-saving windows, a programmable thermostat for more efficient heating and cooling, and energy-saving light bulbs for more efficient lighting can greatly reduce your energy bills - and your impact on the environment.

At H2O Hermosa, we pride ourselves in contributing to sustainability efforts that will help ensure a better tomorrow for our city. Throughout our hotel, we limit single-use waste and use energy efficient products to reduce our environmental impact. We also provide tablets in our rooms containing all necessary hotel information that our guests may need, rather than using paper products to print it all out for display.

We hope that you’ll consider adopting some of these sustainable habits this month, and join us in doing your part to help our beautiful city.
