Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An informative and forward-looking book by an author who believes that hospitality students will influence future policies, it sets out to make students aware that a close attention to environmental issues is linked to business success. Beginning with general environmental issues and key issues in hospitality, Kathryn Webster raises questions on topics ranging from energy management and refrigeration to waste management and packaging. Her conclusion shows how businesses need to be monitored, so that their environmental performance can be measured and, hopefully, improved over time.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
