MONTEREY, CALIF.—Portola Hotel & Spa has said #byebyeplastic by introducing an infinitely recyclable water bottle alternative to encourage an ocean-friendly way of reducing the use of plastic at the hotel. Millions of un-recycled bottles end up in the ocean, polluting the water and threatening sea life at places like the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary. If further calls to action are not executed soon, by 2050, there will be more plastic water bottles than fish in the ocean.
The bottles are $5 each and provided as a service to guests. If opened, a charge will be billed to the room. For guests’ convenience, Portola Hotel & Spa’s staff will refresh daily. The bottles are provided by Green Sheep Water.
