Buffalo’s “Green” Hospitality Initiative
The Buffalo Niagara Convention & Visitors Bureau has begun work with hospitality partners to review current environmental practices and establish a more comprehensive green plan for the industry. The hospitality industry will look to improve in the areas of waste management, energy savings, food production and disposal, water savings, environmentally safe cleaning products, paints, and office practices.
