Today Mary is chatting to Raquel Noboa from Fifty Shades Greener. Raquel has worked in the Hospitality industry for the past 23 years, working in hotels around the world since the age of 17. She knows the industry well, the challenges it faces and the mind-set barriers to greening a Hospitality business.

Raquel started her own green journey at Hotel Doolin, in Ireland. She was working there as the Sales & Marketing Manager in 2012 when the Hotel decided to start a Green Hospitality programme and Raquel was chosen as the new Hotel Green Manager.

Within 2 years of implementing Raquel’s green actions, they reduced their energy by 30%, waste by 40% and water by 25%. They also won every green award in Ireland and she positioned the Hotel as a leader in the Sustainable travel market.

Raquel believes in small wins, and going at your own pace, because greening should not make people jump through hoops, it is about knowing the environmentally sound options that are available and applying those actions that make sense to each business. Starting small, get the big wins, and then look at possible investment projects to become even greener.

She is a fountain of common sense!
