Abstract :

<p>&nbsp;This paper intends to address small sized budget hotels that how they can use simple green practices enabled by human efforts and can become green as well as cost effective. The reason for addressing budget hotels is because in India unorganized/small budget hotels account for around or more than 75% of the total hotel industry of India. Also these small/budget hotels have the constraint of finances and thus they are not able to invest in better technology or green technology to become green. The paper explores the need and benefit of using human efforts in an organized manner to save water, electricity and manage the solid waste to help the environment and save lot of cost simultaneously.</p>
