The Glynn House is a Green Inn
Committed to a Green Environment
The Glynn House Inn is devoted to protecting and preserving our environment. We are also passionate about sustainability and organic gardening. We're proud to have instituted programs that save water, save energy and reduce solid waste - all in an effort to protect the Earth. Our innkeepers meet regularly for the purpose of furthering our knowledge about green practices. We will continue to find more efficient and environmentally sensitive ways to use our energy resources and to offer our guests an environmentally friendly place to stay for years to come.
The Glynn House Inn has created and actively implements the following environmental practices:
Recycling
We have recycling bins in all of our lodging areas that recycle paper, plastic, and glass. Our office supplies are recycled. The Inn also uses recycled paper for our printing products whenever possible. We use recycled paper towels and recycled toilet paper. Our community recycles cardboard, plastic, metal cans, aluminum cans, and brown and green glass. We use ceramic coffee cups instead of plastic or Styrofoam. We don't use any Styrofoam containers on our property.
In-Room Environmental Practices
All of our facilities are non-smoking. We use "Save Our Planet" signage in all of our rooms to encourage guests to use their towels multiple times before housekeeping picks them up to clean. We use no phosphates in our laundry. Biodegradable products are used for room cleaning. Using bulk amenities dispensers for soaps eliminates the use (and waste) of small plastic bottles. Compact fluorescent bulbs whenever possible. Low flow showerheads are used to save water usage. Adjustable toilet valves are also used.
Other Energy Saving Practices
The Glynn House Inn uses rechargeable batteries and also uses energy-efficient appliances for all new purchases. New HVAC units all have a SEER rating of 13 or higher. All new window purchases are dual pane and energy efficient. All of our exit signs use energy efficient LED bulbs. We have digital programmable setback thermostats throughout the property. Our fireplaces are gradually being replaced with energy efficient models.

Carbon Offsets: What are they?
Greenhouse gases that cause global warming are produced from the burning of fossil fuels (gas and coal) that we use every day. Carbon offsets help balance carbon dioxide emissions by giving people the opportunity to purchase a product or service that either saves or stores the same equivalent of carbon dioxide, thereby offsetting the amount of CO2 emissions an individual produces. We encourage all of our guests to conserve first, and if you choose to offset, listed below are two companies that can help and inform you about making good decisions about this process.
