Aquamarine (Rotorua, New Zealand)

We visited the Aquamarine in Rotorua, New Zealand on Wednesday, Jan 5 2011. The aquamarine overlooks an amazing park, playground, and view of the harbor. There are natural hot sulfur springs all around. The director of the aquamarine was gracious enough to explain the sustainable initiatives that the owner personally endorses.

Here are just a few of the things they have implemented:
-They voluntarily post their water consumption used daily
-They have temperature and humidity systems that automatically control the building heating/cooling.
-They mandate recycling in and around the facility
-They have contests for new sustainable initiatives they can implement
-The staff turns off electronics that are not in use for long periods of time like TVs, and computer monitors
