Over the thanksgiving break, I traveled to Moganshan, a mountain about 3 hours away from Shanghai and stayed at a hotel/retreat place called Naked Stables. Naked Stables is part of the Naked retreat hotels where people could go there and relax and do activities and companies would go there for team building etc.. When I entered my room, I noticed that they use less plastics than any other hotels. In the shower room especially, instead of giving little plastic bottles of shampoo and body wash, they have them in a stone container which was really cool (I forgot to take a picture of that). Most of their products like q-tips, toothbrushes, cotton pads are all in a brown bag that is made out of linen and silk and the packaging for each item is made out of a biodegradable bag. Most of the things they made to contain things like remote controllers, or signs like “no smoking” were all made out of wood and carved by themselves.
I thought it was a really cool experience and design so I looked up their hotel statement on sustainability and I found that they are really committed to sustainability and being environmentally friendly. Here are some of the things they believe in:
Overall, I really enjoyed staying at this retreat and I’m glad that there are hotels and companies out there really trying to make a difference.
