Island Paper & Supply

A big kudos to Gerard, at Island Paper & Supply for pointing me in the direction of really good sustainable products for our resort.  

For those of you who don't know Gerard and his (award-winning) efforts you could do no wrong than by chatting him up some time.  RH Lodging and Marina use him for our regular supplies like TP, soaps, office paper, etc.  Although he can get just about anything we need him to, he's been directing us these last few months on a full-bore sustainable product search.  

In the past few weeks, we've moved over all our office paper, paper towels, hand towels and toilet paper to 100% post-consumer recycled; we've moved to GE-free cleaning chemicals for our housekeeping department; and we're switching to a new line of eco-friendly guest amenities for in-room soaps, shampoos and moisturizers.  

We couldn't have done all this without Gerard and his wonderful company.

Thank you!
