Florida Green Lodging

The Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau is working with the hotels and lodgings in the area to encourage them to achieve Florida Green Lodging certification.  Right now there are 25 certified green lodgings in Broward County listed below.  About 20 more hotels are signed up and awaiting inspection.

The Florida Green Lodging Program was established in 2004 by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) with the intent of recognizing and rewarding environmentally conscientious lodging facilities in the state. Through this rapidly growing program DEP encourages the lodging industry to conserve and protect Florida's natural resources. The Florida Green Lodging Program is unique in that it covers an all-inclusive list of environmental initiatives that are specific to protecting and preserving Florida's environment.
