Bed & Breakfast

For the past three summers I’ve been working at a bed and breakfast on Martha’s Vineyard. Through my experiences there I’ve come to learn a lot about how sustainable living applies directly to businesses. Already the Ashley Inn has made many renovations (energy star washers and dryers, buying local food, etc.) and even influenced guest’s habits while they stay at the inn.

I’ve decided to run with these great ideas in the pursuit of my own themed bed and breakfast (name pending). After seeing how gentle persuasions help build a family-like atmosphere that attracts most guests to small inns I have realized how beneficial and fun it could be to bring more education and planned programming could be to a business and our beloved environment. Plans so far include partnerships with local farms and transportation services.
