The Ecohelpline.com will be the first of it’s kind to offer a Free Eco Best Practices Course to help people and businesses go green. The course is online and free.  Our primary focus is hotel management and staff, however the free training lessons are useful for everyone.

As global warming, energy crisis, and endangered species are becoming more of a reality there is a need for training to help everyone become involved in these issues.  With a free online course, there is no reason why everybody can’t get more informed and involved.  Our main goal is to promote environmental best practices in the tourism industry and beyond.

The Green Leaf certification can be of strength to all the workers in the industry, by becoming an important addition to their c.v., to carry with them and enhance, in the long term, the tourist industry. The Eco Best Practices Course leads to the Eco Helpline Green Leaf Certification, giving recognition to hotel  employees for their eco commitment; a first for the Industry.

The Eco Best Practices Course consists of 5 modules, Water, Energy, Waste & Recycling, Nature Conservation and Community Development. By taking the course hotel executive and staff will have a better understanding of environmental issues. The green ideas suggested in this course, will help hotel executives and staff implement green ideas, reducing the environmental impact of their hotel property.

www.ecohelpline.com  is an all new international partnership of experienced industry leaders from a range of areas across the tourism spectrum. The three partners are: Hemant Thite, Renewable energy expert, Lise Tyrrell, Eco lodge, hotel. and resort specialist, and Jem Winston, of 3 Rivers and Rosalie Forest Eco Lodge in Dominica, and Education Director, SLIC Dominica, offering community workshops in renewable energy and assisting participants with funding to purchase their own systems.

We have formed a global partnership to help people and businesses go “green”, starting with hotels.
