Wyndham Worldwide has been making a positive movement in effort to make the earth more green. As of last month, the hospitality company rolled out their new “WyndhamGreen Kids” program which is designed to teach children from ages three to fourteen the importance of keeping our environment and the world clean.

The headquarters is a LEED certified 250,000 square-foot building which has been modified to reduce water consumption, energy use and waste by between 10-30%.
