Online, April 20, 2010 (Newswire.com) - 20April, 2010, Pune: Having a legacy of five years of promised commitment to social responsibility, Marriott International is celebrating "Environmental Awareness Month" this April. With various environmental friendly activities lined up, Courtyard by Marriott, Pune Hinjewadi is running a 'Green marathon' of sorts.

Courtyard by Marriott, Pune Hinjewadi will freshen up its premises with a clean up campaign and a sapling plantation program painting its environment green. Along with having various eco- themed quiz contests and poster competitions for their associates, the hotel team is urging their guests to be a part of the noble initiatives. Adding a unique flavor to the theme, the hotel is all set to nurture their own patch of green- an exclusive 'Herb Garden'.

Another eco-friendly lodging option is to promote the Green message through a well laid calendar called Green Daily Basics which encourages the use of recycle products and water saving options amongst the associates. The award winning environment documentary- The Inconvenient Truth is concurrently being screened at the hotel cafeteria once a week and DVDs are available for the guests as well.

Courtyard by Marriott, Pune Hinjewadi kick started its Green run with participation in the Earth Hour 2010. Marriott's environmental vision is to be the global hospitality leader that demonstrates how responsible hospitality management can be a positive force for the environment and create economic opportunities around the world, and by our example, inspire personal action in the communities where we live and work.
