Created a certification program for hotels

As part of this program, Green Seal worked with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to certify hotels in seven major travel areas of the state for use by government employees and the traveling public. We also conducted a similar project with the State of Georgia and with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in the District of Columbia for use by DC and Federal visitors and employees on travel.
