Living Green
Committed to a Green Environment
The Inn has been certified by the NH's Sustainable Lodging & Restaurant Program. We are passionate about sustainability and organic gardening and have instituted programs that save water, conserve energy and reduce solid waste. Our innkeepers meet regularly to further their 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 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.

In-Room Amenities
Guests enjoy "Natural Earth" salon-grade shampoos, organic soaps, and luxurious body-care conveniences - all are completely natural. "Natural Earth" personal care amenities from Unique Amenities - www.uniqueamenities.com - are vegetarian based. There are no animal by-products or chemicals. All ingredients are GE-free and 100% biodegradable. We've introduced "Natural Earth" because our guests care about the environment and we do too.

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.
