Doubletree KL by Hilton has an interesting idea, but before getting into that, here’s something to ponder on:
How many of you love your meat? It’s not about eating meat once a day. More like the eating-meat-at-every-meal kind of love. If you’re the latter, bad news for you!
Apparently, an estimated 14.5% of all greenhouse gas emissions are derived from animal products. This number is even higher than the total gas emission derived from every single form of transportation known to man.
Due to our meat-eating ways, the demand for livestock supply especially in the manufacture of beef and dairy products, has forced large swathes of forests to be cut down and consequently, pushed to the brink of extinction a large number of flora and fauna.
It’s both shocking and sad.
Since refraining from eating meat cold turkey (excuse the pun) may not be the best solution for most, why not do your part in helping reduce the chances of Armageddon happening anytime soon?
Sustainable dining at its best
The Hilton Group, realising the impact of our eating habits on the environment, has made it their goal to eliminate the procurement of endangered species identified by the World Wildlife Fund.
Hilton has pledged to source at least 25% of the Group’s total global seafood procurement volume for owned, managed and leased properties from MSC certified fisheries and ASC certified farms.
The rest of Hilton’s owned, managed and leased seafood volume will then be sourced from fisheries and farms that adhere to MSC or ASC standards.
In short, they are incorporating sustainable eating as a unique dining experience to be enjoyed by their guests.
Doing this has also made them one of the first hotel chains under Hilton that will be introducing this eco-friendly concept is Doubletree KL via the ‘What’s the Catch?’ menu promotion.
Till then, eat responsibly and do not waste food.
What’s the Catch?
Doubletree KL’s Tosca ran its first “What’s the Catch?” promotion between March 16 and May 12, 2018 to gauge the acceptance of the sustainable dining concept among locals.
The good news is that the effort was not only delicious but very much well-received.
As the name suggests, this promotion is all about sustainable seafood dining where the Doubletree KL culinary team creates dishes that uses all parts of the fish, especially tuna and salmon that are now facing endangerment due to overfishing.
Although the promotion is now over, make sure you visit their website for more information about their sustainable dining movement.
